Due to its geographical remoteness, it has a unique nature, architecture and traditions. We will hike / trek through dense forests with rich flora and fauna, emblematic stone villages - in total 46 villages known as Zagori villages (or Zagorochoria or Zagorohoria), alongside beautiful rivers with natural pools and will discover marsterful traditional bridges made entirely with stones, monasteries carved into the mountains and magnificent views to the surrounding area.

Zagori is part of the Vickos - Aoos National Park which belongs in the Natura 2000 ecological network and is also a UNESCO Geopark. We will hike inside the amazing Vickos gorge, into some of the most magnificent old trails of the area, up to the mountains and through the traditional villages.
