Yes, very beautiful place.
Great Sephardic Jewish history there, too. Sephardic Jews have been there since the 15th century. Sadly, not many Jews left there.
I love how Kastoria is nestled right by a lake and surrounded by mountains. The Byzantine churches in the area are so old you can feel the holiness when you enter.
