Itinerary

Immerse yourself in the wild beauty of northern Greece on the Zagori Villages & Vikos Gorge Hiking tour, an 8-day self-guided walking adventure tailored for experienced and senior travelers. Discover the stone-built villages of Zagoria in the Pindus Mountains, marvel at grand mansions, and traverse the UNESCO-listed Vikos Gorge—often dubbed the Greek Grand Canyon. Stroll over historic arched bridges and enjoy home-cooked meals in local tavernas. The tour includes stays in charming villages, a mountain refuge, and a night by Lake Pamvotis in Ioannina. The highlight is the rare chance to explore a well-preserved conservation area steeped in history and natural splendor, making it a must for those seeking both culture and dramatic landscapes.
