An ancient ruined city with a special "lost place" atmosphere on Lake Vistonia, not far from Porto Lagos.
Anastasiopolis-Peritheorion is an archaeological site located in northern Greece, southeast of the village of Amaxades in the Rhodope regional unit in Western Thrace. Parts of the fortification walls of the ancient city of Anastasiopolis and Peritheorion are still visible. It is unclear whether these are two different cities or a single one that has been renamed in the meantime. The ancient city was an important port on the Aegean Sea and station on the Via Egnatia.

Meteora of the North, Astrea Rocks

Getting onto the rocks themselves is possible only to experienced rock climbers. There are also some nice caves nearby, next to Políarnon village.
