Kastoria is one of the fifty-one prefectures of Greece. It is within the West Macedonia periphery. Its capital is a town by the same name.
The prefecture of Kastoria is situated in the western end of Macedonia, Greece. It is adjacent on the north with the prefecture of Florina, on the south, east and south-east with the prefectures of Grevena and Kozani, on the south-west with the prefecture of Ioannina and on the west with Albania.
The soil of the region is mountainous and the climate is continental with cold winters and hot summers. The temperature presents great variations between winter and summer, and during winter it is often below zero so the lake waters are frozen.
