What to do in Kastoria when it rains
Even though our escape game is primarily an outdoor activity, Kastoria has a unique advantage for rainy days. The historic districts, like Dolcho and Apozari, are famous for their "archontika" (traditional mansions) whose upper floors extend over the street, effectively creating many covered passages and arcades. Approximately 80% of our game route takes place under these natural shelters, offering significant protection against light rain. In case of heavy rain, you can always take refuge in a traditional café or explore one of the city's Byzantine museums.
