Kozani · Western Macedonia
KozaniTradition & Authentic Experiences
Saffron fields, 18th-century mansions in Siatista and a vast lake bridged at Servia.
The story
Kozani is the region's lively capital and an excellent base for authentic experiences. Its squares and pedestrian streets are full of life, and its carnival bonfire tradition — the Fanoi — is one of the most distinctive in Greece.
Beyond the city, visit the saffron fields of Krokos, where Greece's prized red saffron is harvested by hand each autumn; explore the painted mansions of Siatista; and drive the long bridge across Lake Polyfytos at sunset.
