Mavrochori (Greek: Μαυροχώρι(οv), meaning "black village"; before 1928: Μαύροβον - Mavrovon[2]) is a village on the shores of Lake Orestiada in Kastoria regional unit of Macedonia, Greece.[3]
Today Mavrochori is a tourist destination for a quiet vacation near the lake of Kastoria.[4] In addition to the trade fair, festive events take place on the 13th - 15 August of the Assumption of Mary, where the Monastery of Panagia Mavriotissa celebrates (it was built by General George Palaiologos in commemoration of the victory against the Normans in 1083).[5] The Mavrochori Nautical Club also operates in the village.[6]
