Sklithro is one of the oldest villages in the area, dating from 1300 AD. It is located at an altitude of 682 meters and is surrounded by green slopes with lush vegetation, while it is crossed by two torrents. The population of the village today amounts to 450 inhabitants while in the census of 1904 it exceeded 3500 thousand. Sklithro is a purely agricultural and livestock village.

Due to the climate, the famous potatoes of Sklithros thrive in the area, which is also the main source of income of the farmers of the village. The potato festival organized by the Cultural Association with dances, concerts and various events has also become an institution.

In Sklithros Municipality there are two of the oldest churches in the area. Three-aisled wooden-roofed basilica of Agios Dimitrios (1864) and Agios Georgios (1867).

Everything about Nymfaío is true. It is indeed the most beautiful village in Northern Greece. But even if you have seen photos, nothing prepares you for the surprise when you are actually there.

First of all, its founders hid it so well from prying eyes that you can not take a few tempting glances at it from afar. Instead, you climb a seemingly endless road all the way around, almost perpendicular to the valley between the mountains of Vermio and Verno (or Vitsi), without a trace of a dwelling on the horizon.

Even when you reach the gates of Nymfaío there is only a huge parking lot to welcome you as well as an elegant gray stone building, which gives you an idea of ​​what will follow.
