It is a group of 44 traditional villages that are brilliantly preserved. Hidden away in the Pindos Mountains, some miles north of the city of Ioannina and they are known as Zagorochoria or Zagoria. The majority of the area is heavily wooded, surrounded by a truly exciting geography, showing a remarkable diversity for such a quite small area. Imposing mountains, luxuriant valleys are interspersed with rivers, waterfalls and lakes, such as the dragon lake, in an altitude of 6,500ft. Around every corner there are dramatic cliffs and breathtaking traditional stone bridges. Everything is gorgeous but nothing like the outstanding beauty of the Vikos Gorge, reputedly Europe's largest gorge.
