ABOUT

Kandanos is a historic and beautiful place that holds a sombre distinction. It became the first location the German conquerors decided to demolish entirely, while the inhabitants resisted with whatever means they had.

This village played a significant role in the Second World War, thanks to the resistance efforts of the local population.

Kandanos is renowned for the stunning beauty of its gorge. It's also an excellent destination for enjoying high-quality cuisine in its tavernas and offers accommodation options in hotels.

Lastly, in the heart of the village, you can indulge in superb culinary delights at the local tavernas. ‘Pilaf with staka butter’ and ‘galaktoboureko’ are among the must-try dishes that you should not miss.
