1Zagori – The Hidden Mountain Villages of Epirus

Far from the typical Greek island experience, Zagori is a region of breathtaking mountain scenery, traditional stone villages, and deep gorges. Located in the northwestern part of Greece, this area is home to the stunning Vikos Gorge, one of the deepest gorges in the world.

The villages of Zagori, known as the Zagorohoria, are famous for their stone-built houses, arched bridges, and scenic hiking trails. Villages like Papingo, Monodendri, and Kipi feel like stepping into a fairytale, with their preserved architecture and stunning natural surroundings.

Outdoor enthusiasts will find plenty to do here, from hiking and rafting in the Voidomatis River to exploring the region’s lush forests and alpine meadows. In contrast to the sun-soaked Greek islands, Zagori offers a refreshing escape into nature and a glimpse of Greece’s mountain culture.
