Kastania - Agrafa
Let’s liven up our beautiful and glorious village!
Beautiful and enchanting, with an everlasting history, rooted upon the slope of the “Tsiouka” peak of the area of Plastira’s Lake on mount Agrafa, the village of Kastania has been through times of prosperity but a lot of hardship as well. Underneath the firs and chestnut trees, hence the name Kastania (= Chestnut tree), surrounded by green landscape, has a clear view of the serene Thessalian Plainfield all the way up to Mount Olympus to the Northeast, of the wild beauty of the high Pindus mountain line to the West, and from the highest point of the village, there is a view of the entire lake and its surrounding villages. The ideal climate, provided by its altitude of 800 m , and the fresh water is a blessing for its inhabitants and a breath of life for the thousands of tourists that used to visit the village for recreation.
Its nodal geographical position has rendered it the junction point between the villages of Agrafa mountain and the Thessalian Plainfield. Today, being only 23 km away from the city of Karditsa, it is easily accessible by the city and by the rest of the villages of Thessaly and Evrytania.
Being close to the Plastira’s Dam and between the eastern and western shores of the Plastira’s Lake, the village provides the visitors with the ability to admire the natural beauty of the lake, as well as the various historical monuments of the area.
