Description
ZAGORI – A cluster of 46 stone villages, where local stone was transformed into wonderful buildings and streets. Built among the steep slopes of the limestone mountains and the deep river canyons surrounding them, harmoniously blending with them. We begin our daily guided tour from the picturesque valley of west Zagori, passing by Aristi, admiring the evolving landscape in the meantime. We stop at River Voidomatis, one of the cleanest rivers in Europe, where you can plunge into its icy cold water, should you wish to, and then climb to the villages of Papigo. We visit Ovires Rogovo, natural pools in a narrow canyon and then the village of Mikro Papigo. Then we get back to cross a 1,090 m. pass to get to central Zagori in order to have a magnificent view of the Vikos Canyon at its deepest (almost a kilometre). There we have a small snack with traditional pies (like spinach pies , seasonal fruits and local sweets and continue by visiting Dilofo, a village at the centre of Zagori.

Q
A great experience!
A great experience! Our guide Alexis knows these mountains, villages, and roads by heart! He had planned everything, even umbrellas because rain was forecast in the afternoon. He was also attentive to our visit requests and answered our questions as best as possible! This guided tour of the Zagoria was really a plus for us (private tour for two people): Alexis told us historical anecdotes, but also architectural ones and those relating to daily life in these villages, which really enriched the visit and our discovery of the places! I recommend AlpineZone.gr .

I would wholeheartedly...
I would wholeheartedly recommend this experience. Giorgos was my guide and though the Zagori in itself is spectacular, he made the experience even better: the passion he has for his region is infectious and he has a wide knowledge on many facets of the area. The scenery is awesome in the traditional sense of the word. The entire setting is bucolic. The local history has a romanticism about it. This trip offers a taste of the region and for me, it only makes me want to return to explore it further.

Private Tour of Zagori
We arrived early to meet with our guide and to our surprise we were the only ones on the tour! What a wonderful start to the day. Alexios, our guide, made sure our stuff was stowed safely and then he asked if we'd like water or a snack. This thoughtfulness was carried on throughout the entire day. We saw a lot of places during our visit through West and Central Zagori: magical villages, each a little different, stunning bridges and breathtaking landscape! We stopped at a Taverna to try the local fried cheese and Tsipouro (at our cost) and for lunch he supplied the local spanakopita, water and a small sweet. Alexios was so knowledgeable about the area and his enthusiasm was infectious. He lives for this job! He made our day a memorable one and we saw and tried things that we may not have attempted (or known about) on our own. Totally Recommend

An wonderful trip in Zagori
An wonderful tour in a Holy Day on the Holy Week before the Orthodox Easter. With a very knowledgeable guide, who loves the region and who showed us some hidden gems from the area...who wants more? Even Dimitris loves canyoning, you may consider yourself lucky if you will have him as guide for a tour in the region of Zagori.
