A unique destination beyond the usual

There are a lot of outdoor activities in Zagori, some of them quite challenging. However all of them are extremely entertaining and adventurous. For this reason, Villa Paroraia in cooperation with Trekking Hellas of Epirus recommends a great variety of activities for all ages. Enjoy your stay at the most in the charming Zagori. 

River Trekking
River trekking is a form of hiking or outdoor adventure activity which involves sliding on wet surfaces, climbing down and often swimming along the river. It takes place mainly on small canyons with water or parts of a river. Canyoning is a form of trekking in rivers, canyons or waterfalls but on their dry parts. None of the above requires technical experience, only good spirit and adventurous disposition.

If water excites you then there is no better activity for you than rafting and hot-dog in some of Greece’s most beautiful rivers. With the help of your instructors you can choose a route that suite you best in order to enjoy your day in maximum! Rafting and hot-dog rides begin in Aristi’s bridge and end in Kleidonia Bridge in the region of beautiful Konitsa.The rich green scenery around the river captivates the eye whereas the crystal clear waters of the river are ideal for swim.

Stone Bridges of Zagori
Zagori, the “place behind the mountains”, is famous for its breathtaking natural beauty, unique architecture and long history. The old stone- made bridges of the area; the picturesque villages around them and the sense of pure Greek tradition really impress the visitor.

We will see Misiou Bridge, Kokkoros Bridge, the infamous three-arched bridge in Kipi and Lazaridis Bridge that connects the villages of Koukouli and Kipi. We end our tour in Kipi where we have the opportunity to visit the old watermill.
