Grevena · Western Macedonia
GrevenaMountains, Forests & Adventure
The wild heart of the Pindus — stone bridges, ancient forests and snow-capped ski slopes.
The story
Grevena is where Western Macedonia turns wild. The northern Pindus mountains rise in dense black-pine and beech forests, rivers pass beneath arched Ottoman-era stone bridges, and the Valia Calda core of the Northern Pindus National Park shelters bears, wolves and chamois.
In summer it is a playground for hiking, rafting and mountain biking; in autumn the forests are famous for wild mushrooms; and in winter the slopes of Vasilitsa become one of northern Greece's best-loved ski areas.
