Facts and practical information

Fort Lisse is one of the World War II-era fortifications of the Metaxas Line, along Greece's northern border in Eastern Macedonia. It is a short distance from the village of Ochyro, some 2 km from the town of Kato Nevrokopi. At this fort the Greek army held out bravely against attacks by German divisions on 6–7 April 1941, during the German invasion of Greece. In memory of this battle a memorial has been erected and a small museum has been built. This museum has recently been renovated and re-opened its doors to the public in 2002. ()
