Beautiful, picturesque, tranquile. Multiple places to seat and relax by the lake and absorb its sights. Restaurants and cafes. Beautiful road just 1m away from lake shore....

An absolutely amazing place. A truly gem in Greece. The lake offering lots of hikes along its shores and the surrounding mountains. Also it’s worth visiting the dragons Lair and the monastery Moni Panagias Mauriotissas

It is such a picturesque lake, sourrounded by high mountains. It realy worths to go walking by the lake's shore in the city of Kastoria, or even do the whole circle of the ake with bicycle or a car.

Very beautiful place to visit.Nice view and good shops around to shop , to drink coffee and to eat something. A place that everybody has to visit.

One of the reasons Kastoria is so special!

A great place to visit and enjoy nature. There are many cafes, and restaurants along its shores to enjoy the view. You can also drive along to a significant part of its shoreline. Famous route for jogging, walking, exercising as well as fishing. Best visit at warm periods (may~august) or even autumn to have an amazing experience.

Beautiful. In winter the lake can freeze and people can walk on it. There are swans and other birds living in it. Lovely scenery and reflections in the water.

I've been to several caves in my travels and this may be the very best. It's well laid out, easily accessible, well illuminated and the formations are close enough to the path that you can fully appreciate their beauty. Tip: Rent a bike and make this stop part of your trip around the peninsula. The terrain is flat and it's a beautiful, quiet and peaceful trip that's easily completed within a couple of hours, including stops. Perfect for relatively inexperienced cyclists.

Great place to visit. A luxury tour where we were the only ones in a cave listening to the guide from the speakers in our native language. The cave isn't big but it's totally worth it. Definitely recommend for a visit. Thank you for a wonderful hospitality!

Took about 20 or so minutes to go through the cave system. Everything was paved with concrete real well and easy to navigate. There are some steps in it and some areas are slippery with some moisture but nothing serious. Our tour was self guided as they graciously played an audio recording throughout the cave in English so we could understand the areas and the history of the cave. We were grateful they did this for people that only spoke English. The areas were all very interesting and unique in their own way. Some had water, some had more stalagmites/stalagtites than others and some had larger open areas. Very unique place to visit while up in Kastoria. Such a beautiful area!

Interesting cave. You can take a taxi going here or just walk if its a good day. One of the highlights when visiting Kastoria. It takes about 20 minutes to explore inside the cave. Very well lit and safe. They play the audio guide in different languages. Just let them know which language you prefer.

Wonderful experience. Quite long. Amazing atmosphere. Well organized.Different labirents. Well lighted. But take a strong electric torch 🔦 with you if possible. Go there by walking. The road is mesmerising also.

This was a great place to visit, the formations in the cave were beautiful. It was informative too, and you get to learn about the cave through a speaker as you walk through. You do get a limited time however, around 15 minutes before you get hurried along. I think this was good though as it's not too busy when you are in there. Would recommend when in Kastoria.

Great cave, nicely located outside Kastoria, just by the lake. A nearby cafe. The cave itself is very nice, still active stalectites!! Entrance only 6 euros, there is a guided vocal naration inside. Very recommended.

A nice stop when biking around the peninsula. Peaceful.

A place of quiet wonder for every faithful soul. Gently resting on the edge of the lake, the monastery invites not just a visit, but a moment of spiritual connection and reflection.

A beautiful byzantine church, with old paintings on the walls. It's amazing how they have managed to survive for all these years. The location is very serene, next to the beautiful lake Orestiada.

Wow, amazing frescoes!! Nicely located by the lake, less than 1km from the dragons cave. Highly recommended due to multiple ancient frescoes. Also, the road itself around the lake is tranquile and worth driving. Please note they close at 13:00...

For those of you who are or are not religious, a very nice find. Very picturesque

One of the most amazing,stunning and breathtaking byzantine church/monastery of all time. Inside the temple a person can witness a large variety of murals from saints and their story. Just looking at those pretty rare wall paintings make you wanna burst into tears. Although the atmosphere is hefty through natural declines of time , it is preserved in a very good condition by locals. There is also a gift shop and a cafeteria nearby with low prices and a exquisite lake view.

Amazing Byzantine monastery and church with stunning frescoes. One of the few Byzantine monuments that can be easily visited in Kastoria

Very nice place, well-put, a bit dark inside, though.

A small little aquarium but very nice to spend time with kids, the ladies that works there are very friendly.

The biggest fresh water aquarium in the Balcans, with a great variety of species, some of them endemic. The guide is very friendly and knowledgeable. The visit shouldn't last more than an hour, depending on how much you want to read up on your own after the guided tour.

Very cheap entrance... unfortunately you can't touch or feed the fish but it's very family friendly

I love aquariums, so I enjoyed my brief visit here, but it really is pretty sparse. Some of the fish are interesting, others less so, and the tanks seemed pretty basic and a bit cloudy. A good rainy day activity, but I wouldn't go out of my way to see it.

What a beautiful idea to exhibit river and lake fishes! Nice building, friendly personnel, beautiful environment. Glad to be here!!!

The aquarium is definitely worth visiting and learn about the local fish species and much more.

All Excellent!

(Translated by Google) The last visitors to the museum for the 28th of October. Mr. Dimitris was waiting for us and "transported" us to another era where things were simpler but also more difficult. Amazing experience not only for children but also for adults. Kudos to Mr. Dimitris for his efforts to preserve this museum. (Original) Οι τελευταίοι επισκέπτες του μουσείου για την 28η οκτωβρίου. Ο κος Δημήτρης μας περίμενε και μας "μετέφερε" σε μια άλλη εποχή όπου τα πράγματα ήταν πιο απλά αλλά και πιο δύσκολα. Eκπληκτική εμπειρία όχι μόνο για τα παιδιά αλλά και για τους μεγάλους.

(Translated by Google) Good work that was definitely done with a lot of love. You can see objects and tools that remind us of our childhoods in our fifties. The downside is that it is a maisonette that is being operated as a museum on an amateur level and a significant part of its value is being lost. (Original) Καλή δουλειά που σίγουρα έγινε με πολύ μεράκι. Μπορείς να δεις αντικείμενα και εργαλεία που θυμίζουν τα παιδικά χρόνια για εμάς τους πενηνταρηδες.

(Translated by Google) Excellent work by Mr. Dimitris and his wife. The tour by Mr. Dimitris is based on real stories from life and the village and is like a journey through time. It is worth visiting. (Original) Εξαιρετική δουλειά από τον κ. Δημήτρη και την γυναίκα του. Η ξενάγηση από τον κ.

Πρέπει όλα τα παιδιά να περάσουν από εκεί για να εκτιμήσουν όλες τις ανέσεις του σήμερα...

Too much fuzz for nothing. The location is very nice. There is a big square outside the building. There is a cafe , a souvenir shop a bag shop and a food shop inside the building. The atmosphere looks too posh and pretentious. The music was radio music. The staff (a blonde girl) wasn't smiling and wasn' friendly. She was just typical. I had a mountain tea which cost 3.50€ which I found expensive for a cup of hot water, not even a teapot. The snack which accompanied the tea was a plastic unhealthy sweet, full of colours, sugar and carmine. I really don't understand why they promote such unhealthy snacks instead of a homemade cookie. Definitely not worth. There are plenty coffee shops in front of the lake with amazing view.

I consider myself a strict café-bistro judge and this place has lived up to my expectations. Far away from the promanade's touristic, though fantastic, attractions this art café is run by professionals at all levels. The coffee, the sweets, the souvenirs' room, the cosy atmosphere make it a must-visit when in town! There is place to sit outside, too.

A fairly interesting spot for desserts and pastries, offering a wide variety of sweets and drinks. Indeed! I haven’t tried the regular meals (snack-like for the most) or other non-sweet dishes, but the pastries — well-crafted, and served in a setting that invites you to linger — are a real pleasure eg the galaktoboureko or cheese cakes !Good seated pastry places are rare, and this one is certainlyworth the stop. Prices upper middle class :-)

We have been here twice, the second time because the first time was great. I had a tiramisu with pistache. Great surprise! Second time I had a Apple French toast, also great. All food is home made according to the owner and there is also a small shop in the building. Personeel is friendly and have a real interest in the customer.

A beautiful little cafe/restaurant that also serves as a gift shop in the middle of Doltso square. Apart from the souvenirs, you can buy a great variety of local products here like furs, beans, mushroom products and traditional sweets and pastas. The owner is very friendly and polite, has a wide knowledge of the area and its products and was even kind enough to send everything we bought to his other store (that was closer to our hotel) so that we wouldn't have to carry it during our walk in Kastoria. Definitely visit this for a coffee or for your shopping!

Don't expect an "authentic" little eatery, as it is primarily a wine bar/gift shop playing cheesy music. There are several interesting and tasty regional dishes, however. We were quite happy with our meal and the service was friendly and professional.

What a lovely place to have breakfast or brunch! There is a variety of pancakes that you can choose from and also there is a menu for kids. We ordered the pancakes with bananas and syrup, one pancake with cherries and biscuits. If you are more hungry you can order a burger which is quite big and will fill your stomach

A private initiative museum based in a very nicely restored upper class mansion of the 18th century. Worth visiting as it depicts Kastoria’s glorious past; moreover, it’s the only way to support founders’ effort as the state gives no subsidy!!

What a lovely little gen, nestled away in the old back streets of the old town. With a lovely lady to tell you about the other times and history of the house and we used to live. For a few euros a very please half hour spent in this very old house. With original doors. Art work on the walls and doors from 100s of years back. A well worth the money and time spent here. Would highly recommend this a must do visit in this small town. And should be the one museum must see.

Very unique and informative! The lady curator will take you around personally and explain everything. The original furnishings and incredibly detailed wall paintings are exquisite.

Fabulous old fur house. Lovely staff and great information! Highly recommended.

Wonderful practical history lesson. A great way to learn how the rich people of the area lived in the past and what luxury actually meant at that time compared to what it means today. Definitely worth paying a visit!

I usually find folklore museums a little repetitive, but this one was very unique. There are many different rooms, rich with decorations and wall painting. The guide is very friendly and knowledgeable. If you enter and don't see her, she will probably be upstairs, as this is where her office is.

It's not a typical museum. It's a house left as it was by the time it was first built with many items of that period giving the opportunity to the guest of having an idea how was real daily life in Kastoria many years ago. It' s small so it doesn't take a lot of time to see and the ticket is only 2.00€ so I believe it's worth having a visit.

Kastoria has multiple Byzantine churches, and this is one of the most beautiful ones. Located in a residence neighbourhood in town center, it has an adjucent parking lot. The bulding is nicely preserved including someoutdoor frescoes. There is another nearby church some 100m apart Unfortunately, the church itself is closed an the interior cannot be seen from the outside.

Small church, located on top of the hill. We could not see it inside, but from the outside it looked pretty unpreserved. It has a large yard space, so the kids had some fun with their bikes:) the area was super quiet. Be mindful if you are walking from the bay to here there are lots of stairs to go up to get here.

A small but very old church, located on the hill of the old town of Kastoria. One of all 72 churches in the city.

Maravellous frescoes!

(Translated by Google) And I arrived here, at the Byzantine Acropolis of Kastoria and what to see! Panagia Koumbelidiki, in the middle of parked vehicles! Sorry gentlemen of the Municipality of Kastoria and dear citizens of Kastoria! Are you aware??? This surrounded Holy Temple is the Byzantine Parthenon of your place!!! (Original) Και έφτασα εδώ, στην Βυζαντινή Ακρόπολη της Καστοριάς και τι να δω! Η Παναγία η Κουμπελίδικη, εν μέσω σταθμευμένων οχημάτων! Συγγνώμη κύριοι του Δήμου Καστοριάς και αγαπητοί δημότες Καστοριανοί! Έχετε επίγνωση;;; Αυτός ο περικαλλής Ιερός Ναός, είναι ο Βυζαντινός Παρθενώνας του τόπου σας!!!

(Translated by Google) Very nice temple, the trademark of the city of Kastoria. It was built in 1020 AD. X in the acropolis of Kastoria next to the two towers of the Byzantine Castle, a small part of which is preserved to this day. It is dedicated to Panagia and the original name was Skoutariotisa or Invincible. The name kumbelidiki was derived from the Turkish word kumbes meaning dome. The first part of the Church as you enter has hagiographies from the 15th century. Because it had suffered destruction and was repaired, while from the middle to the sanctuary it has the original hagiographies of the beginning of the 11th century. In the Church there is also a rare for the Orthodox Church an icon of the Holy Trinity with a depiction of all the faces. (Original) Πολύ ωραίος ναός, το σήμα κατατεθέν της πόλης της Καστοριάς. Χτίστικε το 1020 μ. Χ στην ακροπολη της Καστοριάς δίπλα στους δύο πύργους του Βυζαντινού Καστρου μίκρο τμήμα του οποίου σωζεται μέχρι σήμερα. Ειναι αφιερωμενεος στη Παναγία και το αρχικό όνομα ήταν Σκουταριώτισα ή Ακαταμάχητος. Το όνομα κουμπελίδικη προέκυψε από την Τούρκικη λέξη κουμπες δηλαδή τρούλος. Το πρώτο τμήμα του Ναού καθώς εισέρχεστε έχει αγιογραφίες από τον 15 αι. Διότι είχε υποστεί καταστροφή και επιοδιορθωθηκε ενώ από το μέσο και μετά ως το ιερό έχει τις αρχικές αγιογραφίες των αρχών του 11ου αιώνα. Στον Ναό υπάρχει και σπάνια για ορθόδοξη Εκκλησία εικόνα της Αγίας Τριάδος με απεικόνιση όλων των προσώπων.

(Translated by Google) Church of Panagia Koumbelidiki. On the acropolis of the Byzantine castle of Kastoria, very close to the wall, stands one of the most important Byzantine monuments in Macedonia, Panagia Koumbelidiki (mid-9th century-early 11th century), as it is known today. The church was bombed in 1940 during the Greco-Italian War, and then lost most of its dome, which was restored in 1949. Its name comes from the word “koumbes”, which means dome, and was created during the Turkish occupation, to indicate the main feature of the church, which is the only one with a dome in Kastoria. Its Byzantine name was probably Panagia Skoutariotissa and Akatamachitos, epithets that befit the Virgin Mary's status as the protector of the walls and are found in an inscription on the crown of the dome. The church was built in the form of a three-nave cruciform with a dome and a narthex. Its isostructural masonry is decorated with toothed bands and ceramic letters on the vertical joints or on a frieze, a characteristic element for the monuments of Kastoria. The dome has a tall and cylindrical drum, decorated with glazed abaci, which develop in three zones, and with ceramic letters. In its largest part, the main church and the inner narthex preserve very good quality decoration, dating from the period 1260-1280. In later renovations, newer frescoes were added to various parts of the church. (source: http://odysseus.culture.gr) (Original) Ιερός Ναός Παναγίας Κουμπελίδικης. Στην ακρόπολη του βυζαντινού κάστρου της Καστοριάς, πολύ κοντά στο τείχος, υψώνεται ένα από τα σημαντικότερα βυζαντινά μνημεία της Μακεδονίας, η Παναγία Κουμπελίδικη (μέσα 9ου αιώνα-αρχές 11ου αιώνα), όπως είναι σήμερα γνωστή. Ο ναός βομβαρδίστηκε το 1940 στον ελληνοϊταλικό πόλεμο, και τότε έχασε το μεγαλύτερο μέρος του τρούλου του, ο οποίος αναστηλώθηκε το 1949. Το όνομά της οφείλεται στη λέξη «κουμπές», που σημαίνει τρούλος, και δημιουργήθηκε στην εποχή της τουρκοκρατίας, για να δηλώσει το κύριο χαρακτηριστικό του ναού, που είναι ο μοναδικός με τρούλο στην Καστοριά. Η βυζαντινή του ονομασία ήταν, πιθανώς, Παναγία Σκουταριώτισσα και Ακαταμάχητος, προσωνύμια που αρμόζουν στην ιδιότητα της Θεοτόκου ως προστάτιδος των τειχών και απαντούν σε επιγραφή της στεφάνης του τρούλου. Ο ναός κτίστηκε στον τύπο του τρίκογχου σταυροειδούς με τρούλο και νάρθηκα. Η ισόδομη τοιχοποιία του διακοσμείται με οδοντωτές ταινίες και κεραμοπλαστικά γράμματα στους κάθετους αρμούς ή σε ζωφόρο, στοιχείο χαρακτηριστικό για τα μνημεία της Καστοριάς. Ο τρούλος έχει ψηλό και κυλινδρικό τύμπανο, διακοσμημένο με εφυαλωμένα αβάκια, που αναπτύσσονται σε τρεις ζώνες, και με κεραμοπλαστικά γράμματα. Στο μεγαλύτερό του μέρος ο κυρίως ναός και ο εσωνάρθηκας διασώζει πολύ καλής ποιότητας διάκοσμο, που χρονολογείται στην περίοδο 1260-1280. Σε μεταγενέστερες ανακαινίσεις προστέθηκαν νεότερες τοιχογραφίες σε διάφορα σημεία του ναού. (πηγή: http://odysseus.culture.gr)

(Translated by Google) Fast service. I bought a product with an original price of €230 which, due to discounts, I found in an Athens department store at €210. In the extra large, I bought it for €161 from this particular store as it was the last piece (it had no other numbers). Bottom line : people actually made an extremely good price due to not having numbers. I will recommend it and prefer it in the future. (Original) Γρήγορη εξυπηρέτηση.

A museum full of beautiful gilded iconostases. A staff member can take you to visit two local churches and unlock them.

A very well curated museums with Bysantine and post-Bysantines paintings that have been rescued and restaurés beautifully. Entrance ticket includes a wonderful visit to a few Bysantine churches with a wonderful guide who loves his town and history. Well worth a visit.

A very rich museum with unique and old exhibits of the Byzantine Orthodox art. It is presented in a very nice way too. Really worthy to see if you visit the city

An impressive collection of Byzantine art, mostly of ecclesiastical content, wonderfully presented and well ordered in a comprehensive chronological manner. Not a lengthy nor a tiring visit to have a glimpse at the art of an empire that endured for 11 centuries

A recently renovated visitor-friendly museum exhibiting mostly panel icons and sanctuary doors from Byzantine and post-Byzantine period from the area of Kastoria. Very clean place and well taken care. Congratulations for the great work! (Entrance 4€)

Nice museum but in my opinion it is overpriced (10 euro per person). The exhibition is not very big/diverse. Most of the pieces are heavily restored. Also, we were alone in the museum and an employee followed our very step in a way that made us feel very uncomfortable.

This classy, nicely laid out collection of Byzantine iconostases, while a bit pricey (10 euros a pop at this writing), is well worth a visit. Kastoria's many Byzantine churches are always locked, but if you come to the museum at noon or later you can ask a staff member to let you into two of them.

(Translated by Google) Beautiful and well-kept Kastorian temple. Nice lighting at night. Of course, we couldn't see its interior due to an inopportune time. (Original) Όμορφος και περιποιημένος καστοριανός ναός. Ωραίος ο φωτισμός του τη νύχτα. Το εσωτερικό του φυσικά δεν μπορέσαμε να το δούμε λόγω ακατάλληλης ώρας.

(Translated by Google) The oldest temple, in relation to the others that exist in Kastoria. Beautiful, a gem, but how sad not to be able to see the inside. There should be opening hours, or some notice that you have to contact someone to open it up to see the inside. So anyone who wishes to see him inside, should contact the museum, as we also read from a comment, but unfortunately a bit late. (Original) Ο παλαιότερος ναός, σε σχέση με τους υπόλοιπους που υπάρχουν στην Καστοριά. Πανέμορφος, ένα στολίδι , αλλά πόσο λυπηρό να μην μπορείς να δεις το εσωτερικό του. Θα έπρεπε να υπάρχει ωράριο λειτουργίας , ή κάποια ανακοίνωση, ότι πρέπει να επικοινωνήσεις με κάποιον ώστε να ανοίξει για να δεις το εσωτερικό του. Οπότε όποιος επιθυμεί να τον δει εσωτερικά, να επικοινωνήσει με το μουσείο, όπως διαβάσαμε και εμείς από κάποιο σχόλιο , δυστυχώς λίγο καθυστερημένα όμως.

(Translated by Google) The oldest Christian Church of Kastoria was built in the middle of the 9th century AD. It is located between the traditional districts of Apozari and Doltsos, on the road to Prophet Ilias and Vunou Kastoria. It is a three-aisled vaulted basilica with a raised central nave and windows that form a skylight. It has the classic mid-Byzantine masonry of Kastoria with stones in natural shape or roughly hewn. While forming decorative letters and shapes. To the west there is a two-story narthex and women's corner where a small chapel of Agia Anna is housed, the so-called asektario. Its frescoes date from the 9th to the 14th century. The temple can be visited after consultation with the guards of the Byzantine Museum of Kastoria every day except Monday from 08:00 to 15:00. (Original) Ο παλαιότερος Χριστιανικός Ναός της Καστοριάς, χτίστηκε στο μέσο του 9ου αιώνα μ.Χ. Βρίσκεται ανάμεσα στις παραδοσιακές συνοικίες του Απόζαρι και του Ντολτσού, στο δρόμο προς Προφήτη Ηλία και Βουνού Καστοριάς. Είναι τρίκλιτη θολοσέπαστη βασιλική με υπερυψωμενο μεσαίο κλίτος και παραθυρα που σχηματιζουν φωταγωγό. Εχει τη νκλασική μεσοβυζαντινή τοιχοποία της Καστοριάς με πέτρες σε φυσικό σχήμα ή αδρά πελεκημένες. Ενώ σχηματίζουν διακοσμητικά γράμματα και σχήματα. Στα δυτικά υπάρχει διώροφος νάρθηκας και γυναικωνίτης όπου φιλοξενείται μικρό παρεκλήσσιο της Αγίας Αννας το λεγόμενο ασηκταριό. Οι τοιχογραφιές του χρονολογούνται από τον 9ο ως τον 14ο αιώνα. Ο ναός είναι επισκέψιμος κατόπιν συννενόησης με τους φύλκες του Βυζαντινού Μουσείου Καστοριάς καθημερινά εκτός Δευτέρας ωρες 08-15.

(Translated by Google) The church of Agios Stefanos is one of the jewels of the city, recently restored.

(Translated by Google) Excellent work both in terms of restoration and in terms of setting up the space. The tour by the museum's volunteers was truly moving and impressive.

I think it has very short opening hours. We found it open. (Original) Εξαιρετική δουλειά και σε επίπεδο αναπαλαιωσεων και σε επίπεδο στησίματος του χώρου. Πραγματικά συγκινητική και εντυπωσιακή η ξενάγηση των ανθρώπων του μουσείου που είναι εθελοντές. Μια ώρα ξενάγησης με πολλές και πολύ ενδιαφέρουσες πληροφορίες καθώς και συζητήσεις γύρω από το αντικείμενο που βοηθάει να βγουν αξιόπιστα συμπεράσματα. Το προτείνω ανεπιφύλακτα. Νομίζω έχει πολύ μικρό ωράριο. Εμείς το βρήκαμε ανοιχτό.

The best fur salon in Kastoria !

(Translated by Google) The quality of the products is good. The subsequent guarantee does not work normally; it froze for two weeks; in two days of departure, they offered services; communication with the factory staff was not constant. They were informed about our arrival two weeks in advance; they promised everything would be fine. In the last days, we did not dare to give it away so as not to be left without anything at all. products. Considering all the frivolity, it’s up to you to choose. (Original) Качество изделий хорошее . Последующая гарантия не работает нормально морозелись две недели за два дня вылета предложили услуги связь была с персоналом фабрики не постоянной .О нашем приезди они были проимформированы за две недели обещали всё будет хорошо .В последние дни мы не рескнули ее отдавать что бы вообще не остаться без изделия.Учитывая всё несерьезность выбрать вам.

I went to play and after 3 computers one refused to turn on. Staff is nice snd friendly but hardware sucks a bit. It will do the job anyways

Delicious pancake and waffle. Only problem was the inordinate wait for the waffle. No explanation given. I have now received an explanation, on this forum. Thank you for taking the time to explain. Perhaps your staff should consider advising visitors (was our first visit to your beautiful part of the world) of a waiting time. With thanks

me: is it possible to see the Serie A match? Someone behind the bar:YES And after 10 minutes (when arrived another client) he come to me to say: I’m sorry we can show just Premier league match .. Coherent and great behaviour

It's the best gaming place in Kastoria. Also has some cool smacks, coffees and stuff.

Nice sports style cafe. Reasonable.

Excellent place and service
