The best area to stay in Zagori is the central cluster of villages, particularly those around Monodendri and Papingo, for a quintessential Zagori experience.Monodendri is a well-known village, often considered the gateway to the Vikos Gorge. It's a convenient base for exploring, with several guesthouses and tavernas. From here, you can easily access the Oxia viewpoint, offering spectacular views into the gorge, and the historic Monastery of Agia Paraskevi, perched on the cliff edge. The village itself is built with traditional grey stone and has a quiet, relaxed feel.For those keen on hiking and a more remote, yet equally comfortable, stay, the twin villages of Mikro Papingo and Megalo Papingo are excellent. These villages are located beneath the Towers of Astraka, offering dramatic mountain scenery. They are a popular starting point for treks into the Vikos Gorge and to the Dragon Lake. The villages are connected by a short, winding road and feature charming stone houses, boutique guesthouses, and local eateries.Couples often find Papingo particularly appealing. The stunning natural backdrop, the opportunities for refreshing walks, and the cosy, high-quality accommodation create a memorable and romantic escape.
