From the first moment you set foot in Western Macedonia and you look at Kastoria, you will feel the magic and the breathtaking aura of this city. Kastoria amphitheatrically lies along the peninsula that dives in the Orestiada Lake, and together comprise an endless mystic dance for the senses, to sculpt a unique Greek scenery, so variant and of such extraordinary beauty and harmony.

Kastoria reflects its seasons on the calm crystal waters of its lake, where the trees go to quench their thirst and act as audience to the songs of the ducks, the frogs, the pelicans, the swans, the cormorants and the herons.

You will find the long lake-coast road and you will follow it, walking among plantains, willows, poplars and hornbeams, leading you all the way around the peninsula.

And the more you leave your footprints on the coast, the more you will feel part of the scenery and you will experience the unique, internal process of freedom and completeness.

And then you will walk through the narrow streets of Doltso, to admire the traditional villas and the byzantine churches.

You will go uphill to the Prophet Elias and you will have a coffee even higher, at St. Athanasios, to enjoy the postcard-like scenery.

And if you have more time to spare, you will leave Kastoria behind to visit the magnificent and romantic Florina and then the extraordinary and out of this world scenery of Prespes, where your senses cannot keep up with reality, at this wetland of great importance, which it owes to its flora and fauna.

The ultimate beauty of nature will follow you at every step, with waters that capture your every gaze, under flybys of silver feathered pelicans and the rustling of the reeds, the sun snuggling coyly in the low clouds, with colors and perfumes you have never met before, strolling around the lakes, gazing at the villages, crossing the floating bridge to St. Achillis island, all of it like a big farm where animals are free to walk around, or having small bites of delicious mezes in Psarades, at the coast of the Big Prespa.

A journey in Greece can offer you pictures from Paradise.
