What a spectacular landscape. I’m wondering if anyone does helicopter tours (though it would probably distract from the peacefulness).

In reply to Jan (@chimptrips). It is. They say it gets a lot of tourists but I didn’t see them. A break from the Greek norm.

Such a stunning place. When I think of Greece, it’s always of the beaches and white-washed houses, not such a lush area. And so remote – looks like an ideal location to escape the crowds!

In reply to Cindi. I would. I think my one wasn’t near enough. Especially for hikers, the trails are excellent. Plus Ioannina is a great looking base.

You are welcome.

Pindos in general and specifically Tymfi mountain are really great for outdoor activities but not only.

There are plenty of picturesque villages ( https://olympusmountaineering.wordpress.com/2018/06/18/hiking-between-picturesque-villages-kallarites-and-syrrako/ )

Beautiful Alpine lakes

And of course for the food lovers, plenty of local gastronomy!

Enjoy your adventures and thanks again for sharing your nice post.

In reply to Olympus Mountaineering. Thank you. Just popped over to yours. Would love to spend that length of time in the region. I’ll be back to read how you got on for the rest of the hikes.

So interesting John! Had never heard of this area of Greece before (all my travel agency clients want Greek Isles). Everything looks fantastic from the delicious looking Greek food, the lack of crowds & sheer beauty of this area. Would you recommend a few more days in this area?

In reply to Jane. It was soooo good. Yeah I passed on the taxi idea too. What if you couldn’t get one. Then you would be in trouble. I think you would certainly enjoy it here Jane.
