Metsovo
Μέτσοβο
An Aromanian mountain town in the Pindus range, known for traditional stone houses, cheese, wine and winter skiing.
Metsovo lies at the Pindus pass about 50 km east of Ioannina. The Aromanian people have preserved their distinctive language and costumes here. The town center is a plane-tree square, surrounded by the Tossitsa Museum of Art, the Folk Museum and the Katogi Winery, and its signature product is smoked Metsovo cheese. In winter there is a ski area nearby, and you can make a day trip via the Egnatia Highway. Metsovo is also often a stop on the way to Meteora.
