The Zagori villages, or “Zagorochoria”, meaning “the place beyond the mountains”. For centuries, the region was controlled by a separate residential, historical, and cultural charter, and was fully protected by the governments ruling it. This of course created many customs and culinary products that are unique to the area.

 

Together with its welcoming people, Zagorochoria is home to remarkable natural diversity and beauty. This includes the Vikos Gorge, the deepest gorge in Europe, the crystal clear Voidomatis River, and the surrounding UNESCO geopark. The plush greenery, a number of rare species of birds and animals, the distinct architecture and bridges that characterize the area combine to make Zagori one of the most picturesque destinations in Greece.
