Itinerary

Gather at Larnaca airport for the flight to Thessaloniki. Upon arrival, we depart for the beautiful town of Kastoria, famous for its reflection in the lake. We make stops in Veria and visit the women's monastery of Panagia Mikrokastrou in the Siatista region. Arrive in Kastoria, check in at the hotel, and relax. In the afternoon, visit the largest freshwater aquarium in the Balkans, as well as the Cave of Kastoria (also known as the "Dragon's Cave"), where 10,000-year-old bear bones have been discovered. According to legend, a dragon guarded the former gold mine inside the cave. Later, we will visit the Panagia Mouuriotissa church and take a walk along the lakeside road. Stroll through Doltso, the old town, with its cobbled streets and neoclassical mansions. We will stay in Kastoria to attend the Epitaph procession. Return to the hotel and overnight stay.

After a hearty breakfast, we depart for the Prespa Lakes in the Florina region, known for their rich biodiversity. We visit the Small Prespa Lake, where the island of Agios Achilleios is located. A floating bridge connects us to the island, where we can admire the church dedicated to Saint Achilles. Before visiting the island, we stop at the village of Agios Germanos. We then head to the village of Psarades, located along the shores of the Great Prespa Lake. Here, you can enjoy local delicacies such as roasted Florina peppers, Prespa beans, and grilled fish from the lake, paired with local tsipouro.
