ZAGORI IOANNINA: The beautiful and famous area of Zagoriis a network of 46 villages spread all over the mountains on the north east of the city of Ioannina. It has an area of some 1000 square kilometres and is in the shape of an upturned equilateral triangle. The villages of Zagori are famous for their unbelievable natural beauty, their unique architecture and their long history. Not without a reason of course, since the smashing natural landscape, the pictures of every single village and the unlimited opportunities for sally and every kind of activities really charm and impress the visitor.
There are two features of the landscape of Zagori, which usually impress the visitor. The first is its riverswith their crystal-clear water -the Aoos, the Voidomatis, the Vardas and the Zagoritikos, of which the Voidomatis is the cleanest river in Europe. The other is the appearance of the strata. The most common rock formations in Zagori are limestone schist very light grey, almost white in colour and flysch, a sand stone schist of a much darker grey.
The marked gullying typical of the area provides abundant opportunity for observation of all the strata and their buckling during the folding of the Earth's crust, which produced the Dinaric Alps and the Pindus range. Both inside and outside the gulleys and gorges, the mountains are covered with forests. Depending on the altitude, the most commonly encountered trees are the willow, the plane, conifers of various kinds, the cornel, the oak, the iles, the walnut and the beech. Above 2000m the vegetation is classically Alpine
Megalo Papingo is one of the Zagori villages and is so beautiful that just being there may be enough for you, but you might also be interested in... Enjoy the Guided walks in the Vikos Gorge, rafting at Kalaritikos and Voidomatis rivers and trekking at Vradeto and Drakolimni lake..
