On the slopes of Mount Vermio, near the village of Kastania, you will find the Monastery of Panagia Soumela. It was built in 1951 by refugees of Pontus and it was an attempt to revive the historical monastery, the ruins of which are located on Mount Mela.

The monastery is a spiritual center which attracts many believers, especially on August 15th (the celebration of the Assumption).

It is located only three kilometers from the beautiful town of Naoussa and houses the sources of Arapitsa which supplies water to the entire city and irrigates the fertile lands of the whole region. Here you will find modern sports facilities, recreation and relaxation areas, taverns and the municipal hotel "Vermio".

The highest peak of Vermio Mountain is just over 2,000 meters. The slopes, especially the eastern ones, are full of fir, oak and chestnut trees. A rare species of crocus (Crocus Cviziciii) grows in the high meadows of Vermio in the spring. In the summer the landscape is absolutely mesmerizing due to the colorful “carpet” of wildflowers, cyclamens, lilies, wild roses, and the unique in the world Isatis vermia. Also, on the slopes of the mountain there are foxes, deer, wild boars, other smaller mammals, reptiles, insects, and many birds.

The Aliakmon is the longest river in Greece (310 km). The river springs from the mountains Verno (or Grammos) and Voio at the country's borders with Albania and flows through several districts of Macedonia (Kastoria, Grevena, Kozani, Imathia) before it ends up into the Thermaic Gulf. The name is derived from “άλας” = salt sea and “άκμων “= anvil. According to Greek mythology the Aliakmon was one of the river gods, son of Oceanus and Tethys. At the prefecture of Kozani you will find the artificial lake Polyfytos which was created after the construction of the homonymous dam.

The roofs are built with a combination of soil and seaweed and the pillars are made of local tree, "feides".
