It has the handsome village architecture of Zagori, the world's deepest canyon, really friendly people, and great country cooking. It's a region made for exploring on foot. You walk on ancient mule-tracks, through scenery ranging from cool forests to airy alpine pastures and dramatic gorges. There are glorious turquoise rock pools for swimming, and pretty villages with pleasant tavernas to stop in.
Magical things happen here.
We were enchanted to see old and young alike, in their traditional costumes, dancing the village dance. They smiled and gestured that we could join in. Your holiday doesn't have to coincide with a festival for you to enjoy the village life of Zagori. Some of the friendliest people we've ever met live here. Each village has its own traditional crafts, too - you'll find handsomely carved walking sticks, excellent honey, and exquisite bouquets of herbs.
