Papingo

Πάπιγκο

The twin stone villages of Great and Little Papingo sit beneath the Astraka cliffs and are the most beautiful stone villages in Zagori.

Great Papingo and Little Papingo are about 2 km apart. Their stone houses, stone walls, and flagstone paths are built into the hillside, with the tall grey cliffs of Astraka rising behind them, making for a picture-perfect scene. Zagori's finest guesthouses and restaurants are here, and the village is also a base for hiking Mount Tymfi, reaching Dragon Lake, and walking the northern section of the Vikos Gorge. A trail links the two villages and passes natural rock pools along the way.
