7Metsovo, Epirus

Tucked in the Pindus mountains, Metsovo is a dream for those who crave alpine landscapes in Greece. Wooden balconies, stone houses, and cobbled squares give it a storybook feel. In summer, it can get lively, but in shoulder seasons, Metsovo is peaceful—perfect for sipping tsipouro by the fire, tasting its famous cheeses, or exploring surrounding hiking trails. Without the crowds, the mountain air feels even fresher.
