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

Folklore Museum of Kastoria

Reviewed By michaelVous

This 17th century house describes the history of Kastoria and describes the every day life of people. A lovely guide explained everything to the history of the house and the use of every room and what happened in each one. I suggest this unique museum to everyone as it informs you for the unique history of Kastoria.
