The property is in a particularly privileged position due to its proximity to Thessaloniki, Grevena, and Ioannina, as well as important cultural attractions such as Meteora and the archaeological site of Vergina. Moreover, it has easy road access due to its connection with the Egnatia Odos and is 130 km from Ioannina airport and 213 km from Thessaloniki airport, attracting visitors from all over Greece and Southeastern Europe.
