Vikos Gorge, Zagori

One of the deepest gorges in the world relative to its width, in the Pindus mountains of north-west Greece. The best viewpoint is the Oxya lookout above Monodendri, or the Beloi viewpoint near Vradeto. The walk through the gorge from Monodendri to Vikos village takes about 6 to 7 hours.

The area, called Zagori, has 46 traditional stone villages linked by old arched bridges and stone paths. The Voidomatis river, with its icy clear water, is good for rafting. Ioannina is the nearest town.
