Only 53 km far from Flórina you will find an outstanding stone settlement perched on the east side of Mt Vítsi, at an altitude of 1,346 m.Nymfaio, is a predominantly Aromanian village and a former community in Florina regional unit, West Macedonia, Greece. The municipal unit has an area of 28.209 km2. As of 2011 the village had a population of 132 residents. The village is protected by the Hellenic Ministry of Culture in order to preserve its architectural integrity. Today it forms one of the most impressive officially proclaimed by the Ministry of Culture and Tourism traditional settlements. The village flourished significantly between the 17th and 19th century, when it was an important centre of gold and silver trade, while its inhabitants were prominent merchants abroad. For many years the settlement had been abandoned but thanks to a coordinated effort from local people and the state, it managed to regain its lost glory. Glorious mansions (Boutari, Missiou, Mertzou, Tsirli, Papadopoulou etc) bear testimony to the village’s distant past while Áyios Nikólaos Church and Nýkios School, which now houses the conference and training centre of the Thessaloniki Aristotle University, and the Community are architectural gems that you should not miss out on. Here are some other suggestions: Tour the Gold- and Silversmith, Folk Art and History Museum, hosted in the Neveska Chrisikos House (the village's former name) and peer into the village’s long gold and silversmith tradition or follow a hiking route along the stone paved path to Sklithro and Agrapidiá and let yourself experience a journey through time.... On a close distance you will also find the lakes Himarítida and Zázari, important natural habitats for a significant number of mammals, amphibians, fish and bird species. In the area of Nymféo you can pursue exhilarating activities such as mountain climbing, off road routes, bird watching at the lakes, hiking (from the village's parking site to the Profítis Elías chapel-duration 50'- and from the village square to Drosopigí- duration 4 hours) and mountain biking (to Drosopigí and Flórina city)!
