About Kastoria
Kastoria, also known as Kesriye, is a small city in northern Greece, near the borders of Macedonia and Albania. The city, which had been under the Ottoman rule for many years, still bears the traces of the Ottoman Empire. Kastoria is very similar to the city of Sinop in the Black Sea coast of Turkey, especially with its magnificent landscapes and geographical structure. The city has a population of about 25 thousand people. The city, which means "Beaver" in Greek, is also famous for its fur trade. Mink fur trade, which has been made in the region for a long time, is among the most important income sources of the city.

In addition, the Church of St. Stephanos and the Church of Three Saints are among the historical buildings you can see in the city. This region is also known for its delicious apples and grapes.
