7Zagorohoria, Epirus

In the Pindus Mountains of northern Greece, Zagorohoria consists of 46 traditional stone villages surrounded by forests, rivers, and gorges.

Villages like Papingo and Monodendri are peaceful escapes out of season, perfect for hikers and nature lovers. The iconic stone bridges, cobbled streets, and slate-roofed houses are much more enjoyable when the area is quiet. Off-season visits allow travelers to experience the serene beauty of the Vikos Gorge without the crowds.
