The abandoned fortress-town of Ouzdina is built on a hill over the exit of the canyon of Kalamas river.

The settlement was restored, highlighted and now constitutes an example of a settlement that survived through the centuries and retains architectural remnants of the classical-Hellenistic up to post-Byzantine period. The settlement is densely built with narrow and cobblestone streets.

The restoration project began in October 2010 and the enhancement works of the settlement were launched in August 2012 and completed in September 2015.
