The City of Mushrooms
In the heart of Western Macedonia, Grevena is a place where nature, history and adventure come together in harmony. It is the second greenest region in Greece, with endless forests, rivers and mountain ranges, offering experiences for every traveler, all year round. Your journey begins in the village of Milia, home to the world-famous Paleontological Museum – listed in the Guinness World Records for the largest mastodons ever discovered. Here, visitors travel millions of years back in time, experiencing a rare encounter that combines science, awe, and uniqueness. From there, exploration leads into nature. The Pindus National Park and the enchanting Valia Calda reveal vast forests, rare species of flora and fauna and impressive geological formations. The nearby Speleos Gorge and dozens of trails invite visitors to adventures through landscapes of wild beauty. When winter arrives, Grevena transforms into a top destination for snow lovers. The Vasilitsa Ski Resort offers slopes for all levels in a pristine natural environment, while the traditional villages – with Samarina, the highest permanently inhabited village in Greece, at the forefront – preserve local traditions and provide authentic hospitality. Gastronomy completes the mosaic of experiences. Dozens of wild mushroom varieties growing in the surrounding forests have given Grevena the title of “The City of Mushrooms,” making it an ideal destination for food lovers as well.
