This day is devoted to the limestone gorge of Vikos, one of the most impressive and famous landforms in Greece, attracting many visitors from all over the world. We may have already admired the magnificent gorge from Beloi viewpoint but walking along the streambed, dwarfed by its gargantuan 1000m cliffs, is undoubtedly a unique experience. The path is nowadays clear, making this traverse feasible for anyone in fairly good physical condition. Still, it is a long route over remote, inaccessible terrain that should not be taken lightly.

On a hot summer’s day, arriving at the startling plane-shaded springs of the Voidomatis near the end of the route is really unforgettable. The crystal clear drinkable water gushes between the rocks at the riverside to form the beautiful Voidomatis River. A bath in the turquoise icy pools will definitely cool you down before making the last ascent to the hamlet of Vikos village, perched on a rocky outcrop above the gorge.

Dinner and overnight stay at guesthouse in Aristi village

Meals included: Breakfast

  Walk across Voidomatis river – Visit Konitsa village and hike in Aoos Geopark.

Today we explore a part of Voidomatis river. An easy and short route of exceptional natural beauty along the riverside. The unfolding landscape is unique in the richness of unspoiled nature. Plane trees, willows and oaks cast a shadow on the hikers, and the turquoise waters of the river accompany them all the way until the end. Halfway we will visit the abandoned monastery of Agioi Anargyroi, built in 1658. An ideal hiking route for the summer, which can be combined with swimming in the cold, clear blue waters of the river.
After this exhilarating experience it’s time to relax and wander around Konitsa, a quaint rural town located at the foothills of Mt Trapezitsa right above the mouth of the Aoos Gorge. We can’t miss the old single-arched stone bridge over the Aoos River - a true masterpiece of the local stone masons’ craft and the landmark of Konitsa. We will also take a walk along the cobbled lanes of upper Konitsa to see the old two-storey stone residences with their beautiful gates and visit the Hamko’s fortified residence. 
We cannot miss have a relaxed walk inside Aoos Geopark along Aoos river.
Our final destination for today is a cosy guesthouse located in the woods and next to the river where we will raft the day after. There is also the option of the tree houses, very comfortable with their own wc. Time to relax and enjoy the nature of the place or have a walk across the river. 

Hiking time: 3 hrs
