必看景點
Visit the numerous Byzantine churches. See the beautiful lake 1 Saint Stephen Church (Agios Stefanos). One of Kastoria’s most important early Byzantine churches, Saint Stephen dates possibly to around 900 AD. Its exterior is notable for alternating stone and brick bands and distinctive cartwheel brick motifs in the apse. Inside, surviving frescoes — though damaged — include an early Last Judgement in the narthex, and later 12th-century Christological imagery in the nave.

It is especially notable for its exterior and interior frescoes, including monumental depictions of the Archangels and an unusual cycle of Passion scenes.

Inside are layered frescoes from different periods, including a 12th-century Nativity scene above the west door. (updated Jul 2026) 4 Church of Agioi Anargyroi.
