Cave of Dragon (Spilia tou drakou)

Reviewed By ChrisNokkentved - Espergaerde, Denmark

We read about this attraction and made it a high point of our visit in the historic part of Kastoria. The cave was an experience as speleologists have made it safe and accessible to the public. Inside the lighting enriches the experience of the incredible cascading stalactites and stalagmites with small ponds bringing color in the calcium palace. A guiding audio system guides and highlights in some parts of the cave. Only drawback was that quests have limited time as our exhalations and CO2 destroys the interior. So take some flashless photos fast

Byzantine Museum of Kastoria

The Byzantine Museum of Kastoria, which occupies premises built in 1985, was inaugurated in 1989 and remained open until June 2013. During that period it housed an ‘interim’ exhibition in one of its three galleries. The new exhibition material focuses mainly on panel icons and sanctuary doors, of which there are seventy-five (75); there are also five (5) fragments of frescoes, and thirty (30) other items, examples of the minor arts. The inclusion of this material was reviewed and proposed in a report based on the following principles, consonant with contemporary museological and museographic practice: • Connection with the social and economic context of the period that permitted the painting of the icons and the system of values they serve. • Emphasis on the uninterrupted consequence of the city of Kastoria, which, its peripheral position notwithstanding, flourished in both the Byzantine and the post-Byzantine eras (9th-19th century). • Creation of a museum devoted exclusively to Byzantine and post -Byzantine icons, documenting both the unique character of the icons of Kastoria and the multiple aspects of their function in the Byzantine world, which are among the most important sets of icons in the world. • Organisation of the exhibits in direct association with the churches from which they came, as a spur for the creation of an archaeological walking route in Kastoria, a city that is considered as a prime example of a living, open-air museum. • Creation of a modern, scientifically serious but at the same time visitor -friendly museum.

Reviewed By dan_tes975 - Belgrade, Serbia

The whole town of Kastoria is a museum, on a peninsula surrounded by lakes and greenery. The visit should start with a well-organized Byzantine Museum, where you will receive a guide and keys to some of the churches located in the city. There are more than 70 small churches in the city, built from the 10th to the 19th century. It is a treasure trove of Byzantine art.

Kastoria Aquarium

Reviewed By savrenas - Thessaloniki, Greece

A small but very educational and interesting aquarium few metres outside the centre of town with an easy place to park your car. There is a good variety of fish species and the visit is very educational. Together with the cave of dragon is a must place to visit.
