Third Wave Travel - Explore Greece - Discover Greek Nature- Mountainous Greece

Explore Zagorohoria, the villages northwest of Ioannina, on the southern slopes of Pindos mountains, one of the most authentic and idyllic areas in Greece. The beautiful stone houses, the old arched bridges, the little Byzantine churches, the singing birds, the grey of the rocks and the green of the trees, the crystalline waters and the scented air are unique features of this region.

Among the 46 traditional villages of Zagori, Megalo Papingo is one of the most beautiful, built at a height of 980m at the foot of an imposing peak of Tymphi, called Astraka, which belongs to north Pindos. Slate-roofed houses, cobbled streets, renovated mansions of the early nineteenth century and above all the Vikos Gorge on the south-west side of Tymphi invite you to live a unique experience in a spectacular landscape. Take time to explore the villages around the Vikos gorge, to walk along the stone paths and over arched bridges built by skilful local people and to reach viewpoints that offer excellent view to the gorge.

In Zagorohoria you will taste the famous local pies, rooster cooked in wine, delicious spit-roast and grilled meats and you will stay in traditional stone houses or mansions of the 18th and 19th centuries that have been restored to preserve their architectural features, stonework, wooden ceilings and floors and you will be attended with great care so that your visit to Zagorohoria will be unforgettable.
