Regarding the accessibility of people with mobility problems, the geographical relief of the city, the steep slopes and the traditional building materials used, make it difficult for people with mobility problems to move easily. Nevertheless, several services, places to visit and hotels-restaurants have the legal specifications in order to facilitate travel and entrance.

The city of Kastoria is considered ideally ‘walkable’, with its wider suburban and lakeside areas hosting hiking and leisure activities, as well as points of cultural interest.
