Most associate it with winter, as the snowy landscape around it makes it truly fabulous. However, it is so beautiful that it will truly enchant you at any time of the year.

Nymphaio is considered one of the most beautiful villages not only in Greece, but also in Europe, according to most travel guides.

Agoriani

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

In the fir-covered landscape of the area, the village is located at an altitude of 850 meters and shows its visitors the other side of Parnassos, that is, a quiet and picturesque village, in nature and with gurgling running water.

Metsovo

The jewel of Pindos, famous for its unchanging mountain beauty and tradition, is a place of great value 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.

Metsovo is a beautiful traditional settlement -with its characteristic architecture and emblematic square- and is located at an altitude of 1,150 meters, built between the mountains of Pindos.

Kastoria

One of the admittedly most beautiful towns in Northern Greece, it is a really amazing destination in winter. In fact, due to the low temperatures that prevail in the area, the famous lake of Orestiada freezes and offers incredible images to the visitors of the city.

Pozar Baths
