Why visit Metsovo?

Perched at 1,160 metres in the Pindus Mountain range, Metsovo is the cultural heartland of Greece's Vlach community, defined by stone-and-timber mansions and deep gastronomic traditions. Life centers around the cobbled Agia Paraskevi square, where village elders gather under plane trees in traditional embroidered attire. Art lovers can explore the Averoff Gallery, which houses an impressive collection of 19th- and 20th-century Greek paintings, or tour the restored 17th-century Tositsa Mansion, now a museum of folk art. Nearby, the Katogi Averoff Winery offers cellars tours alongside tastings of Agiorgitiko and Cabernet Sauvignon grapes cultivated on Europe's steepest vineyards.

Food defines any journey to this Epirote stronghold. Local tavernas serve hearty mountain fare, including kontosouvli (pork spit-roasted over open coals), hilopites (local egg noodles), and savory wild-greens pies wrapped in handmade phyllo. Metsovo is equally famous for its artisanal creameries, producing Metsovone, a smoked, semi-hard PDI cheese dried over leaves and grass, and the softer Metsovela. Outdoor enthusiasts can trek through the beech forests of Pindus National Park (Valia Calda) or follow trails leading toward the icy waters of Lake Aoos Springs.
