Activity Description

Hiking in the springs of Voidomatis with its crystal clear waters and in one of the most impressive ravines in Europe.

The hike starts from the village of Mikro Papigo. We are moving on a downhill path which is mostly forested. On our left we admire the impressive view offered by the Towers of Astraka and the pebble of Kokkinos Lithari. On our right we have an impressive view of the green gorge of Ano Voidomatis. After approaching the dolomite formations of the gorge, we enter the gorge of Vikos.

There we will meet the sources of the river Voidomatis, one of the cleanest rivers in Europe. After taking a break to rest, we continue our hike to the village of Vikos, on an uphill path for about 1 hour. In the village of Vikos, a vehicle will be waiting for us to take us back to Papigo.
