Houses, alleys and arches built to endure for centuries.

The architecture of Zagori is among the most distinctive in Greece: houses built of grey Epirot stone, slate roofs, stone walls and arches that connect the spaces. In Monodendri, Vitsa and Dilofo you will see the same pattern of harmony: high walls, hidden courtyards and alleys leading to squares with centuries-old plane trees.

The craftsmen of Epirus built with the same tools for almost two centuries — their beauty lies in their simplicity.
