For sure, visitors will be invited to the great feast of Florina's Fires on the 23rd of December, listen to bronze sounds, learn about the great number of artists, painters, and sculptors of the area, discover the greatest Commercial Festival of the prefecture in Amyntaio during October, dress in disguises during the Carnival of Xyno Nero, participate in the local cultural events and mainly in the prefectural events called "Prespes", and dive in the mineral waters of Aetos Municipality. Also, visitors may taste the local cuisine as well as the local products, such as the original high quality wine of the Amyntaio area, the sour water and the refreshments made by the natural mineral water of the area, the fishes from the lakes, the beans from Prespes and Varikos, the peppers from Florina and the biological products (beans, wine, strawberries). |
