It was then that various international treaties were signed and peace and freedom of communication prevailed in the Balkans and Europe.[71] They are still of particular interest today as a residential complex. With interior divided functional spaces, interior decorations, ornate wood carvings on the ceilings, colorful glass skylights of high aesthetics, friezes, a multitude of phytomorphic decorations and rhombuses create and compose a peculiar interior, which finds its best expression in Kastoria, a peculiar Macedonian rhythm.[72] They are par excellence examples of folk architecture. In general, the mansions of Kastoria are in balance with the environment, while maintaining the virtues of measure and human scale intact. The best way to get a "spherical" view of the city is to take a short tour of the lake, starting from the southern beach and ending in the north. Relaxation and tranquility are the first emotions that overwhelm you as you walk along the narrow lakeside road. Dense beech trees and huge plane trees mark the route, creating an almost otherworldly setting. Dense riparian forests lovingly protect their winged inhabitants. Orestiada is home to an important bird population, with more than 200 species, many of which are rare and endangered. Local fishermen in their "ships", the plavas, masterfully compete with the waterfowl for the prize of all kinds of lake fish. On your way, a stop at the Dragon Cave with its seven underground lakes and ten halls with impressive stalactite decoration is a must. If you want to admire the city from above, follow the green path that leads to the chapel of Prophet Elias or continue even higher to the hill of Saint Athanasios. Registration Details 00002339960
