Detailed Itinerary
On Day 1 from Thessaloniki airport travelers are transported to our accommodation in Zagorochoria (probably in Mikro Papingo village). Our route will be via Ioannina with the return route via Kastoria (alternatively we will switch the order). We have a small break at Ioannina (or Kastoria) before reaching our destination. It takes us five - six (maybe even more) hours to reach Zagorochoria. The day is spent on relatively slow travel, exploration and relaxation.
On Day 2 we do the amazing Vikos Gorge walk, an experienced to be cherished and remembered. First we travel to the village of Monodendri. We usually finish the walk at Vikos village (if travellers prefer we can walk longer until we return to Mikro Papingo). Info on the Vikos Gorge walking route.

On Day 3 we do an easy rafting expedition on Voidomatis river. This is an excellent eco-friendly activity in beautiful surroundings, suitable for all. Info on rafting in Voidomatis. It should be noted that the order of the activities (walking and rafting) may change, depending on weather and similar conditions. In the unlikely case that the conditions for one of the activities are not good then we may do a different walk in the area or exploration by car.

On Day 4 we return by car to Thessaloniki airport to take our flight back to Cyprus. Depending on the route that we took on Day 1, we will take the alternative route (in other words either via Ioannina or via Kastoria) so that we visit more excellent places in beautiful Greece.
