Extraordinary Gorges; Vikos Gorge, Epirus; Sublime Zagori



From The Telegraph

Seven of Europe's most extraordinary gorges

Got a head for heights? John Wilmott offers a guide to the most magnificent gorges and canyons across Europe

"Vikos is an eye-popper when taken in from one of the three key viewpoints...Ripping through the sublime Zagoria region in the north of Greece, it is a straightforward challenge to hike, with a breathtaking – in both senses – descent and ascent at either end. The U-shaped gorge narrows into a slot at the western extreme, where powerful springs spout a fully formed river of crystal water.

Get there: the cheapest way is to fly to Corfu, take a ferry to Igoumenitsa on the mainland, rent a car, then drive about 90 minutes".
