5Papigo, Zagori

Deep in Epirus’ Vikos Gorge region, the twin villages of Mikro and Megalo Papigo are stone-built marvels with jaw-dropping mountain backdrops.

Hikers flock here in peak season, but outside those months, Papigo transforms into a serene retreat. The winding alleys, stone guesthouses, and centuries-old churches feel untouched, and the stillness of the mountains creates a rare sense of calm.
