Lake of Kastoria also known as Orestiada, is a lovely lake surrounded by mountains hosting over 200 different water bird species.
At a close distance from the lake, you will meet the scenic district Doltso, a picturesque location with remarkable traditional mansions and buildings of great architecture.
