Church of Agios Nikolaos (Petritis) in Ptelea
About 1 km from Ptelea, you will come across the Church of Agios Nikolaos (Petrítis), a beautiful stone-built basilica with a stone roof, considered one of the oldest churches in the region. It was built in 1417, as evidenced by the stone inscription with ceramic-letter decoration above its entrance—a unique feature in the wider Kastoria region. If you happen to be here on 20 May, you can experience the feast of Ptelea, a tradition that has been continued continuously for centuries.
