This tour offers us the ultimate view of the world’s deepest canyon, Vikos canyon. In our path, we’ll meet one of the clearest and coldest rivers of Europe, Voidomatis and well as some spots that provide us with a sublime view of the canyon. The silvery river’s waters, though cold, are surprisingly refreshing for swimming and ideal for rafting in the late spring and summer months..

Would highly recommend Epirus.Travel and this particular tour we went on. We booked this very late which was no bother to Giorgos ( George ) who advised us where and what to do from the start! Less than 10 hours later he was waiting for us at the port for our days adventure to begin! What a day it was! George went out of his way to give us more than we expected from the tour, giving us a complete full days tour of everything and more on the list! He is extremely knoweledgable, great fun to be with, very accommodating, easy going and immediatly made us feel at ease comfortable and relaxed in his hands as he took us on our adventure. Nothing was to much trouble and he ensured we had the best days travel! Sivota, Parga and of course the Acheron River are breathtaking - there was just so much to see, so much to explore from beautiful beaches, sea side coastal towns steeped in history and charm, ancient forests and olive plantations, ruins, fortresses, castles and not forgetting the mythical crysal clear waters of the Archeron springs! I enjoyed every second of the day and it really was the highlight to our weeks holiday in Greece. I would highly recommend doing any trip with George. You will be in the best hands. I look forward to going back to Greece and in particular the Epirus region and will 100% go through Epirus.Travel and do another adventure. I cant wait!

A tour with a 7-seated 4x4 SUV that crosses the beautiful villages of the central and eastern Zagori and combines the breathtaking view of Vikos canyon with the unique stone bridges that used to connect the villages. It surely is a view that reminds us of the “miracles” that can happen by the human and natural cooperation.

9. Vikos - Aoos Geopark (2 days)

"King Pyrros" Ioannina National Airport, Leof. Grammou 135, Exochi 454 45, Greece Epirus Traveller

In general, the area combined with many rivers and streams, especially during the winter months, forced the construction of bridges. The golden age of Zagori allowed rich families to finance expensive and sometimes unsuccessful projects linking villages. Today, about 60 bridges are saved in a very large state and there are testimonies of another hundred that have been destroyed.
