Metsovo Attractions

|
Métsovo lies 2km/1.25mi below the Ioánnina-Kalambáka road.
The mountain village of Métsovo, situated in a wooded region in the Pindos range below the Katára pass, is popular both with summer holiday visitors and winter sports enthusiasts (ski-lift). During the Turkish period well known families like the Averofs and Tositsas built themselves houses in this inaccessible spot. Features of interest are the Folk Museum in the Tositsa House, the church of Ayía Paraskeví and the monastery of Áyios Nikólaos at the lower end of the village. The nearby village of Mília is famed for its trout and its yogurt. The planned new section of the road from Igoumenítsa via Ioánnina and Kozáni to Salonica will pass just to the south of Métsovo (in a tunnel for part of the way).
