7 days Journey to Vikos-Aoos National Park from Athens

Take this 7 days journey to the most untouched area in Greece, directly from Athens. The relative small human impact, the rare flora and fauna of the area, and thanks to its wild and unspoiled nature makes this place unique. We will cross the impressive Vikos gorge, located in the heart of the National Park, and listed in Guinness as the deepest gorge in the world. We will visit Zagori, a mountainous region of stunning beauty, one of the most strictly protected areas in Greece. As the region remained cut off from the rest of the country for decades, you will not find here signs of massive tourism. We will visit and stay at some of the picturesque stone villages of Zagori, a masterpiece of traditional architecture, ideal for those seeking relaxation and tranquility. Finally we will go for rafting in Voidomatis river, ranked as one of the cleanest rivers in Europe and enjoy the stunning nature of the area while paddling through turquoise crystal clear waters.
