Kastoria is a picturesque city in Western Macedonia, built on a peninsula that extends into Lake Orestiada (Lake Kastoria). It is known for its striking natural setting and rich history.

The city stands out for its Byzantine churches, Macedonian-style mansions, and the Doltso district, where traditional architecture is well preserved. The lake is central to city life, with a scenic lakeside promenade offering views of the water and surrounding mountains.

Kastoria is also known for its fur industry tradition and today serves as an important cultural and tourist destination.
