Day 1 – Art, alleys, and wine tradition in Metsovo

10:00–21:00 Easy walks, with transfer to be arranged

Discover Metsovo’s main cultural sights and end the day with a wine tasting booked in advance.

10:00

Averoff Museum

Set aside about 75–90 minutes for the collection, which brings together works by Greek artists and tells the story of the Averoff family’s connection to Metsovo. Before visiting, check the official website for up-to-date information on opening access, any exhibitions, and tickets; budget roughly €5–12 for admission.

Walk there from the center and allow time for any security checks or guided tours.

11:45

Agia Paraskevi Church

Reach the church on foot in a few minutes and spend around 30–40 minutes exploring the exterior and the interior, if accessible. Admire the stone architecture and decorative details, and behave respectfully if services are taking place; admission, if any, is usually by donation or free, but check on site.

For the visit, wear respectful clothing and ask before photographing the interior.

12:30

Averoff Garden

Continue on foot to the garden and allow 30–45 minutes among the paths and green spaces, with glimpses of the houses and the hills around the village. After the walk, take a lunch break in a tavern in the center, setting aside about 1–1,5 hours to sample local dishes; entry to the garden may be free, while for lunch you should budget roughly €15–30 per person.

The route may include slopes and uneven ground: choose comfortable shoes.

16:00

Katogi Averoff Winery

Reach the winery with a transfer arranged from the center: the distance and elevation change make it wise to check the walking route or book a taxi, especially for the return. Plan about 1,5–2 hours for the visit and any tasting, which should be booked and confirmed directly with the venue; as a rough guide, expect €15–35 for a tasting, depending on the format and selection. After the visit, return to Metsovo for dinner, and do not drive if you have done a tasting.

Check the official website for availability, visiting details, prices, and transportation before you go.
