Microkastro monastery and Kastoria aquarium 

The Women's Monastery of Panagia Mikrokastro is dedicated to the Assumption of the Virgin Mary. It is located 12 km from Siatista very close to the village of Mikrokastro. The katholikon of the monastery has excellent art Hagiographies of the 18th century. The icon of the Virgin holding the baby is considered miraculous and was painted in 1603 AD. On August 15, visitors from all parts of Greece visit the monastery to worship the icon. There is a custom with the "riders of Siatista" where they visit the Monastery on their decorated horses. After our visit to the monastery we head to Kastoria and see its very interesting aquarium which is the largest freshwater fish in the Balkans.
