Overview

  • Take a Half Day Tour to Papingo from Ioannina, to marvel the Vikos Canyon and visit some of the most characteristic local villages.

    The village of Papingo is located in Zagorochoria, an area that is in the Tentative Lists of UNESCO Heritage Sites, near the northern end of the Vikos Gorge and is inside the Vikos–Aoös National Park. Vikos Gorge is the largest canyon in Greece and arguably in all of Europe: it is the gorge with the greatest depth to width ratio, according to the Guinness Book of Records 1997. The village of Papingo is surrounded by deciduous forests and topped by the snowcapped Astraka peak of Mt Tymphe, that towers over the village.
