Zagoria
A magical region of authentic villages, unique stone architecture, and breathtaking canyons in wild northern Greece
Zagoria (Ζαγόρια) is a magical and unique region in northern Greece, in the heart of the Pindus Mountains, consisting of 46 traditional villages known as “Zagorochoria”.
The region boasts dramatic landscapes of green valleys, dense forests, rushing rivers, and the impressive Vikos Gorge, considered one of the deepest in the world.
The ancient villages, built from local stone, preserve unique architecture featuring stone houses with slate roofs and arched stone bridges from the 18th century, constructed by local craftsmen.
Visitors to Zagoria can enjoy spectacular hiking trails in wild nature, taste authentic local cuisine in rural tavernas, and experience traditional Greek hospitality in charming small stone inns.
The area, declared a national nature reserve, offers an authentic experience of mountainous and lesser-known Greece, far from the bustle of mass tourism.
