Walking routes in Greece’s wild and beautiful northern Pindos mountains<\/p>\n
Guidebook to 30 walks and 3 treks centred on Zagori and Konitsa in mainland
\nGreece. From easy strolls to demanding hikes along remote mountainous
\ntraverses, including the rugged peaks of Mt Timfi and Mt Smolikas in the
\nPindos range, Drakolimni Lake, and the dramatic Vikos Gorge. With background
\ninformation on architecture, history and wildlife.<\/p>\n
Zagori in Greece’s Northern Pindos National Park is among the last relatively
\nundiscovered and unspoilt hiking destinations in Europe. This guide presents a
\nselection of thirty walks and three short treks showcasing the region’s
\ncaptivating scenery, from dramatic gorges to mystical forests, crystal-clear
\nturquoise rivers, rugged alpine peaks and characterful mountain villages.<\/p>\n
Routes vary from easy walks on clear paths to strenuous ascents and mountain
\ntraverses, meaning that there is something to suit most ambitions and
\nabilities. Clear mapping accompanies the route description, and the
\nintroduction to the guide covers all the practicalities, including getting to
\nZagori, accommodation, equipment, maps and safety. There is also a wealth of
\ninformation about the region’s rich history, architecture, geology, plants and
\nwildlife, as well as fascinating notes on points of interest encountered on
\nroute.<\/p>\n
The routes are presented in five chapters, covering Central Zagori, Vikos
\nGorge and vicinity, Mt Timfi, Konitsa and Mt Smolikas, and Valia Calda
\nNational Park and Metsovo, with highlights including Mt Timfi and Mt Smolikas
\n(Greece’s second highest mountain), the breathtaking Vikos Gorge, traditional
\nstone arch bridges and the alpine tarns of Drakolimni (Dragonlakes). With so
\nmuch stunning scenery, this is a region that cries out to be explored.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
