The Byzantine Museum in Kastoria
The Byzantine Museum in Kastoria is located at the highest point of the city, on Dexamenis Square, next to the Xenia Hotel. The museum was opened in 1989 and today has a collection of about 700 icons collected from 75 urban Byzantine and post-Byzantine churches.
Prehistoric settlement in Dispilio
The archaeological site of Dispilio is famous for the remains of a Neolithic settlement, which are located nearby, on the shore of Lake Orestiada in the area of Kastoria, on an artificial island. This lake settlement was discovered in the dry winter of 1932, when the water level in the lake dropped and the bottom was exposed.
Fossil Museum in Nostimo
Nostimo is a village in Western Macedonia, about 25 km from Kastoria and 14 km from Argos Orestiko. In recent years, this place has become very famous thanks to the exposition of finds from the Petrified Forest, which opened here.
The Costume Museum in Kastoria
The Costume Museum opened in Kastoria in 1999 and is managed by the Harmony Music and Literary Society. The museum occupies the former residence of the Emanuel brothers, a two-storey 18th century building built on the shore of Lake Kastoria.
The Museum of Monuments of Kastoria
It would seem a rather strange idea: to create a monument to a monument. Nevertheless, Nikos Pistikos came up with it. For many years of his life, Pistikos devoted his free time to creating replica models of the monuments of Kastoria from a wide variety of materials.
