Starting from Tsotyli, you may visit Apidea, of archaeological interest, in the location of Boufara or Saint Athanasios. The picturesque villages of Krimini and Rodochori are situated a few kilometres away from Tsotyli. Near the village of Rodochori, the Tsoukaris bridge over Pramoritsa, a tributary of Aliakmon, bears witness to the local architecture. The Tsotyli-Kastanochoria route is unique. The mountain Ontria, with its forests, fresh water springs and old legends about girls who turned into stone, looms over the area.
The nearby village of Polikastano is another area of interest for tourists, and is situated at an altitude of 950m. In the mountainous Voio, the village of Avgerinos (Αυγερινος) at an altitude of 1,050m completes the beauty of the landscape. The mastery of the old craftsmen of the village is shown in the two floor houses made of stone in the central square. Following a dirt road you may visit the monastery of Aghia Triada (Holy Trinity) on the outskirts of Vithos and Pentalofos.
