Agoriani

Amphitheatrically built on the slope of Mount Parnassos, at the back of Arachova, Agoriani (or Eptalofos as its official name) is the surprise of Parnassos for those who discover it.

Located in the fir-covered countryside of the area, at an altitude of 850 meters, the village introduces its visitors to the other side of Parnassos, that of a quiet and picturesque village, where nature and the gurgling flowing water can amaze everyone.

Metsovo

It is the jewel of Pindos and is famous for its unchanging mountain beauty and tradition and a popular destination all year round. Especially in winter, when the snow has spread its white veil everywhere, it looks more fabulous than ever.

This elegant stately settlement with its lush greenery and imposing mountains all around will impress you from the first moment.

Kastoria

It's one of the most beautiful cities in Northern Greece and a real feast for the eyes even in winter. In fact, due to the low temperatures that prevail in the area, the famous lake of Orestiada freezes over and offers incredible images to the visitors of the city.
