Sightseeing

Psarades is a beautiful village on the waterfront of the big Prespa lake. Don't miss the boat ride (just take warm clothes with you in the winter) to go and visit the monastic caves that date back to the 13th century. The small boat ride lasts about 20 minutes and you don't get out of the boat. The longer one allows you to go further to the monastery of Panagia Eleousa and climb about 200 steps to visit the monastery. It's definetely worth it. Ask Germanos, the owner of the taverna. You can always tell him you are our guests.

Agios Germanos is a mountain village with beautiful preserved stone houses and great views to the lakes from above. It's nice to walk around and get a sense of the local life. It's the biggest and most populated village in the Prespa region.

Parks & Nature

Agios Achillios is a very beautiful island in the middle of the small Prepsa lake connected by a floating bridge to the mainland. It is nice to visit and walk all around it. There are the remains of an old Basilica dating back to the the 10th century. Enjoy the beautiful views to the lake and surroundings and on nice day relax on the grassy hills of the island. The tavern of Aghios Achilios serves good quality local recipes. It can accomodate a lot of people so sometimes it's a bit loud inside. But then again Prespa is not very touristy so it's never too bad. If you seat outside you can enjoy views of the lake and the farm right below.

Food scene

One of my favorite place in Prespa...It 's a great place to eat as well as a nice place to relax and enjoy the spectacular views of the lake even form the inside. The food is more creative than your typical Prespa tavern and it's tasty! The owners, Artemis, Zenia and Kyriakos are very friendly. Tell them you are our guests and ask them any info you need for the area.

Psarades is the most touristic villages in Prespes and sometimes most of the tavernas tend to cater to that. Not this place...My favorite place to eat here and one of the best places in prespa area, is the taverna "Sintrofia"at the end of the road, by the water with great views of the lake. You can taste traditional local recipes and fish fresh caught from the lake. The portions are hudge so be careful not to order too much.

Great meat taverna, in the center of the village square. Don't miss the amazing local meat patties (pork and beef) the pitas and the great gardens from the garden.

A fairly new family taverna in Milromilmni just 2 km from the house . It is right on the water with amazing crews. Great home cooking, especially the pitas, and very nice family! Highly recommended!
