Η άγνωστη ιστορία πίσω από την ονομασία

Η Χαραυγή είναι ένα ιστορικό χωριό, με αιώνες κατοίκησης. Η ονομασία του κρύβει πίσω της μια παράδοσξη ιστορία που μας γυρνάει στο 1830. Ο μπέης Αλή Κούκο, που κυριαρχούσε στην περιοχή, δολοφονήθηκε από τους κατοίκους του χωριού εξαιτίας των παράλογων απαιτήσεων που είχε.

Ήθελε να παραδίδουν στον ίδιο κάθε νύφη, ώστε να περνάει μαζί του την πρώτη νύχτα του γάμου της! Η επόμενη μέρα από τη δολοφονία του χαρακτηρίστηκε ως “χρυσή αυγή”, από όπου και προέκυψε η ονομασία Χρυσαυγή του χωριού.

Καλλονή Γρεβενών: Ένα πανέμοφο ορεινό χωριό… όνομα και πράγμα που θυμίζει κινηματογραφικό σκηνικό!

Βρίσκεται σε υψόμετρο 1.000 περίπου μέτρων και αποτελεί ένα από τα ωραιότερα ορεινά χωριά των Γρεβενών. Η Καλλονή είναι… όνομα και πράγμα, θυμίζοντας κινηματογραφικό σκηνικό με τα πετρόχτιστα σπίτια της και τα γραφικά της σοκάκια.

Μάλιστα οι πρώτες εικόνες που αντικρίζει ο επισκέπτης του θυμίζουν εύκολα κινηματογραφικό σκηνικό!

Για τους λάτρεις της Πίνδου, η Καλλονή αποτελεί το ιδανικό ορμητήριο, αφού από εδώ θα ξεκινήσετε για να γνωρίσετε τη Βάλια Κάλντα αλλά και το χωριό της Σαμαρίνας, το χωριό της Πίνδου που είναι χτισμένο ανάμεσα σε πυκνά δάση και το “ψηλότερο” στα Βαλκάνια! Εδώ θα δείτε επίσης τη μοναδική εκκλησία όπου ένα δέντρο μεγαλώνει στο εσωτερικό της.

Καλλονή Γρεβενών με παραδοσιακά σπίτια από πέτρα

Ένα από τα πλέον όμορφα και γραφικά χωριά, η Καλλονή δεν πρόκειται να απογοητεύσει κανέναν… Ακόμα και τον πιο απαιτητικό ταξιδιώτη. Θέλετε στα καφενεία και τα ταβερνάκια της πλατείας, με τοπικές λιχουδιές και κρασιά ντόπιας παραγωγής;

Χωριό με ομορφιά & παράδοση

Οι ντόπιοι αγαπούν ιδιαίτερα το χωριό τους και το φροντίζουν σαν τα μάτια τους. Μάλιστα έχουν δημιουργήσει ένα λαογραφικό μουσείο με παλιά αντικείμενα και εργαλεία, που προσφέρει τη δυνατότητα στους επισκέπτες να γνωρίσουν καλύτερα την παράδοση και τον πολιτισμό του τόπου.

Αξίζει, φυσικά, να αναφέρουμε την τοπική γαστρονομία των Γρεβενών, που στηρίζεται αρκετά στα μανιτάρια, τα οποία μετέχουν σε πολλές συνταγές και αποτελούν σήμα-κατατεθέν και του εν λόγω χωριού. Δοκιμάστε ό,τι μπορείτε σε πιάτα και θα ενθουσιαστείτε!
