Kastoria: Discovering the scenic lake and tackling epic climbs in Kastoria.

Kastoria is a town in Dytiki Makedonia, Greece known for its scenic lake and historical charm. From a cyclist's perspective, Kastoria offers a mix of flat routes alongside the lake and hilly terrains in the surrounding countryside. The town itself is not very bike-friendly and lacks dedicated cycling lanes. However, the nearby Grammos and Vitsi mountains provide legendary climbs for cyclists seeking a challenge. Kastoria is a great base for exploring the natural beauty of Dytiki Makedonia but may require some careful navigation for road and gravel cyclists.
