Sorry! We don't have any recommendations for Metsovo right now.
Metsovo is known for its fabrics, folk crafts, silver, and smoked cheese. Although many of the "traditional" arts and crafts here are imported low-quality imitations, with a little prowling and patience you can still make some finds, especially if you like textiles and weavings. Some are genuine antiques that cost a good deal more than the newer versions, but are far superior in quality. Everything's available on the main square.
This is actually two shops: one sells quality silver jewelry made in Talaris's own workshop, and the other displays gold pieces. The Metsovo silverwork trade is one of the oldest in the region; members of the Talaris family have been silversmiths for many generations (and now they have branched out as hoteliers, owning the hotel where their shops are).
This colorful shop overflows with cheeses of all shapes and sizes. Metsovo is renowned for its cheese, and you will find any local variety your heart (or palate) desires, from the smoky metsovitico ewe's and cow's milk cheese to the zingy metsovela and even a local Parmesan that rivals any from Italy.
Near the Hotel Egnatia, the shop of Vangelis Balabekos sells traditional clothing from Epirus and other areas of Greece.
