Perched at 1,350 meters on Mount Vitsi, Nymfaio of Florina is one of the ten most beautiful villages in all of Europe. When you see it snow-covered – a common sight in winter – the atmosphere becomes magical, as if it has come straight from the pages of a fairytale.

Considered by many to be the most beautiful stone village in Greece, Nymfaio stands out for its impressive mansions. The ascent to the village through a winding mountain road full of turns leads to a breathtaking view. At its entrance, a characteristic arched wooden bridge connects two impressive mansions, promising more wonders to follow.

Inside these historic buildings, which guard old furniture, huge cupboards, and painted ceilings, the true heritage of the place unfolds. For those who have traveled around northwestern Greece, Nymfaio is a genuine mountain revelation, a destination that combines the serenity of the natural landscape with the flawless beauty of traditional architecture.
