Zagorochoria

Masterpieces of architecture, culture and history surrounded by enchanting nature

Zagorochoria is a complex of stone villages, masterfully constructed bridges and monasteries between the mountains. This is a sacred and seductive destination for all ages. You will see the rare beauty of the area by walking in the gorge of Vikos, looking at the impressive peak of Mount Astrakas and listening to the gentle roar of the river Voidomatis. And you will feel it walking in the mysterious fog of the villages, visiting the old monasteries and churches, or just relaxing by the fireplace in a hostel.

Bikos Gorge is a rift in the earth that can only be created by a divine hand. The narrowest part of the gorge is 1,100 meters wide and its depth reaches 900 meters. It is the kingdom of eagles, rare medicinal herbs and steep vertical rocks, which start from the bridge of Kokoros and end at the bridge of Aristi. Going through is a life experience.

The “Drakolimni” This alpine lake of Drakolimni is amazingly beautiful. A mythical dragon is hiding in its depths! The route to reach the mythical Dragon Lake leaves you speechless, oaks and mountain cypresses in the lower part of the trail, seem to be trying to compete in height with the surrounding mountains. To reach the lake, leave 2-5 hours of hiking from Mikro Papigo.
