Montanema Handmade Village

Stone cottages, open fireplaces, and wood-burning stoves tucked into a fir-and-cedar gorge near Lake Plastira: Montanema is a small resort village that someone built by hand, literally one stone at a time, after stumbling onto the site during a hike. The restaurant runs off three wood-fired ovens and a kitchen garden, with a cellar full of small Greek producers. It's the kind of place that makes you want to arrive in fog and stay until spring.
