Tourism and heritage promotion in Kastoria

Overview

Efforts to promote tourism in Kastoria, Greece, have expanded through both international marketing and local cultural initiatives.

In late September 2026, the Greek National Tourism Organization and the Municipality of Kastoria hosted a promotional event in Slovenia. The event targeted Slovenian tour operators and journalists to showcase the city’s natural landscapes and historic architecture, noting that Greece is a highly preferred destination for Slovenian travelers.

Concurrently, the Holy Metropolis of Kastoria inaugurated the ‘Byzantine Kastoria’ Pilgrimage Office. This office is dedicated to highlighting the region’s ecclesiastical heritage, specifically focusing on 52 Byzantine and post-Byzantine churches. The initiative aims to provide organized guidance for visitors interested in the area’s religious monuments, architecture, and frescoes.
