Between the Albanian border and the North Pindos mountain range, a string of 46 choria (hamlets) quietly coexist, showing few signs of interference from modern-day society. A trip to Zagorohoria immerses visitors in the blissful relaxation of simple village life. The tiny towns are chock-a-block with cobblestone roads and slate-tiled rooftops that give the area a picture-book atmosphere. Also home to Vikos Gorge, the deepest canyon in the world, Zagorohoria provides opportunities for nature enthusiasts to hike around rough-riding rivers, stark peaks, and dark caves. These natural treasures, in addition to the surrounding Vikos-Aoös National Park, entice all who venture out here with gorgeous scenery and unbeatable sites. While hiking and trekking are the major tourist attractions of the area, the romantic draw of traveling back in time and exploring the traditional villages is enough of a reason to go.
