Dragon Lake Tymfi & Vikos Gorge

Friday: Departure from Nafplio - Corinth - Patras.

Saturday: Departure for the shelter of Tymfi and Drakolimni. We start from the small Papigo and after a short route through the forest we climb to the Tymfi Alps. During the climb to the shelter and with the necessary breaks we will admire Astraka and Zagori from above.
A good break at the shelter and then in 1.2 hours we will enjoy the view of Lakka Aou and Gamila from Drakolimni. After enjoying the area with as much time as we need we will start the return to the refuge and the village.

The level of the excursion is difficult

We will start from Monodendri with an easy hike, we will admire the Mega Lakko and all the beauties of the imposing landscape, we will bathe in the springs of Voidomatis (whoever can stand) and we will finish in the village of Vikos.
