Zagori is a destination for all seasons. Is 28 km away from Ioannina, capital of Epirus. The region of Zagori is divided in three subareas: The central Zagori area, the western Zagori area and the eastern Zagori area. For the people who love the nature (and the activities as well), Zagori is a real 'treasure'.
The flora and the fauna are rich and rare, with many protected species. The region has many deep valleys, forests and gorges. Due to the wild formation of the ground and the many stones the residents constructed stone-made footpaths and bridges in order to connect the villages. Many of these sights today are 'cultural monuments' and are protected. Many tourists (from all over the world) visit Zagori every year, to experience the beauty of the area.
The villages have kept their traditional picture without to be touched by the time. Monodendri is 39 km away from Ioannina and is a very popular village to the visitors. The local benefactors of the village helped Monodendri to obtain during 17th and 18th centuries schools, stone built manor-houses and churches. The name of the village is from a big fir that existed until 1840. Monodendri was formed after the union of three small settlements: Agios Giorgios, Ano Mahalas and Vitsa.
The village is built in an altitude of 1060 meters above the sea level and is a destination for hundreds visitors, because of the famous gorge of Vikos. This gorge is registered in the Guinness book of records, for its depth.
