Vikos Gorge

Vikos Gorge can be viewed from villages and high points or explored on foot inside the gorge. A through-hike requires planning the start, exit and return, as well as allowing for uneven ground and changes in elevation.

What makes it special

  • Two ways to visit: view the gorge from above or hike inside it.
  • A visit from Monodendri or Vikos avoids arranging a transfer between the two ends.
