Kastoria is very similar to Ohrid , which is located nearby, in Macedonia. A similar lake, a similar town and similar mountains with snow caps. Despite the tourist attraction, the main source of income is fur. There are hundreds of fur factories in the city, and at the entrance there is a huge shopping center, you will not miss it.
