Florina tourist information
Florina, the prefectural capital, is spread out over a hillside covered with wild chestnut trees. Aminteo, a modern market town, lies 41 kilometres from Florina, while 6 kilometres from there, on the shores of Lake Vegoritis, there is the picturesque village of Agios Panteleimonas. Nimfeo (53 km. from Florina), on the slopes of Mt. Vitsi (alt. 1.350 m.), is both a winter and summer resort, with delightful houses built in the local style.
The part of this prefecture that holds the greatest interest for visitors, whether Greek of foreign, is its two lakes, which form the natural borders of Greece with Albania and the former Yugoslavia. These lakes, Mikri and Megali Prespa are situated 850 metres above sea level and are separated by a narrow strip of land. The shores of the smaller lake are filled with reeds that every year provide shelter for many kinds of birds.
On the shores of Megali Prespa, which may be either steep and rocky of flat and lush, there is a delightful little village called Psarades, which is very reminiscent of an Aegean hamlet with its characteristic architecture. At Agios Germanos there is a byzantine church dedicated to St. Germanos with excellent frescoes.
