My Kastoria, Dispilio & Nimfaio Bear Sanctuary

Depart from your accommodation in the morning to Dispilio, Middle Neolithic lake settlement, considered the oldest in Europe, using Via Egnatia, Ancient Roman commercial route linking West and East, Rome and Constantinople. Near the site an impressive park has been erected, recreating the lake dwellers’ settlement and providing information about the life of its Neolothic inhabitants. Continue to the furrier city of Kastoria, known as the Lady of Macedonia, nestled in between Grammos and Vitsi Mountains. Wander by the lake Orestiada which is directly linked to the character, history and development of the city. Discover the Byzantine treasures, dating back from the 9th to the 19th century, with a visit to the Monastery of Panagia Mavriotissa. Drive though the mountainous range of Mount Vernon to Nimfaio. Taste local delicacies in a traditional restaurant. Visit Arcturos Bear Sanctuary and get informed about the development of the brown bear, its geographical distribution, its biology, ecology and about the danger of its species. Before heading back to Thessaloniki, explore the stone built houses and cobblestone paths of Nimfaio, the fascinating fairytale village, surrounded by a breathtaking beech forest.
