The Surroundings: Around the town and its lake there are high mountains. That is why it is quite cold and wet during winter. Τhere is snow on the mountains for over four months of the year.

The Town Old and New: The town is over 15 centuries old and it has a beautiful old castle overlooking the lake. The view from its top is fantastic. There are many old houses inside the castle and life there is peaceful and quiet. There are also modern neighbourhoods, with blocks of flats, shops, cars and busy streets.”
