Tsotyli
Tucked into the wooded uplands of Western Macedonia, Tsotyli is a place whose character is shaped by steep slopes and a folded valley landscape. Red-tiled homes follow the contours of the settlement, while gardens, small fields and tree cover fill the spaces between them, giving the town a dispersed rural form. Tsotyli belongs to the Voio area of the Kozani regional unit in northern Greece. Its past is marked by the historic School of Tsotyli, which was an important centre of Greek education during Ottoman rule. The settlement reflects how strongly terrain continues to define communities in Greece’s mountainous interior.
