What to expect

Parga lies in Greece's Epirus region, an area that really packs a punch in the beauty stakes. This trip will take you into the heart of the province to give you a glimpse of its spectacular scenery. You'll discover Ioannina, Zagoria, Vikos Gorge, mountain streams and rustic villages.

You'll start at the Epirot capital, Ioannina. Set on a lake, it's got a Turkish look and feel due to its Ottoman past and we'll take a short stroll around. Ali Pasha Mosque is here, too, and your guide will tell you all about it during your visit. Next, there's a stop to admire the UNESCO World Heritage site of Zagoria, known for its rugged natural scenery, before heading to the village of Monodentri. You've got two hours to explore this place on your own, but your guide will kick things off with a walk to the bite-sized St. Paraskevi Monastery – you're welcome to join them.

When you're done looking around the souvenir shops and have treated yourself to some lunch, you'll head to the Oxia Viewpoint for epic views of Vikos Gorge. The last landmarks you'll visit are a pair of really scenic bridges, Kokkori Bridge and Kalogeriko Bridge. From here, you'll start the return journey back to your accommodation.

    I really enjoyed the day the guide Julia was excellent the only thing that stopped me giving it all 10s was the fact that it was a really long and tiring day. Probably not a lot you can do about that and still fit all the sites in

    What a fabulous full day trip. Very professional and friendly guide Natasha. Beautiful scenery. Very well organised time wise. Every aspect of the trip was very well thought out. The coach driver was very good too. Natasha and Nikos worked very well together to deliver a great trip for us all.

    The trip is too long for what you actually get to see. From our hotel pick up to getting back was 11 hours. The gorge was impressive but with only one restricted view point was disappointing seeing the distance and time taken to get there. I would not recommend unless you enjoy sitting on a coach most of the day.

    Natasha was a brilliant guide. It’s a very interesting trip which we had been on before 11 years ago - also with Natasha!

    Beautiful area. Our guide was very informative about the places we visited. Our driver was amazing, and we felt very safe on the mountain roads some of which were very steep. A long day but well worth it as the scenery was beautiful throughout.
