Kastoria's Essential Treasures

Kastoria is centered around the high-altitude Lake Orestiada, featuring a collection of over 70 Byzantine and post-Byzantine churches dating from the 9th to the 19th centuries. This list highlights the city's defensive history through its Byzantine walls and religious significance via sites like the Panagia Koumpelidike and the lakeside Monastery of Panagia Mavriotissa. Visitors can explore well-preserved frescoes in small neighborhood chapels and visit the Byzantine Museum, which houses one of Greece's most important collections of religious icons.
