View of Vikos Gorge

Highlight • Viewpoint

When you come through the last gate to the last house, go up to the left, then you can look into the gorge from the very top and also go through to the back

Descent into Vikos Gorge

Highlight (Segment) • Gorge

Approximately 30min to go down to the world deepest gorges. 900m deep for 1km rim to rim. I saw a bear near the path 10m from me but he was more scared than me and directly ran away. A local told me that she saw some deer a few days ago. Don't forget to take some water, even that it's not a long hike, it's steep.

Vikos Gorge riverbed

Highlight • Gorge

For most of the year, there is little or no water flowing above ground. Only from the Voidomātis spring onwards does so much water emerge that it flows continuously. This makes it all the more impressive to be able to stand in the riverbed here - surrounded by the gigantic rock walls of the Vīkos Gorge and in the middle of rocks weighing tons.

Fantastic hike. A little fitness is needed for the final ascent. Great scenery and the water of the Vikos you can drink (cleanest river in Europe!)
