Greece is home to numerous villages, each boasting its unique natural beauty. Some of these villages stand out due to their distinctive characteristics, which are not found anywhere else, compelling you to revisit them time and again. One such village is Vovousa, nestled in Eastern Zagori.

Vovousa Village, Eastern Zagori

Vovousa, the most secluded village of Eastern Zagori in Epirus, sits at an altitude of 1,000 meters. Upon entering the village, one of the first sights you’ll encounter is the large stone bridge. Constructed in 1748, this bridge has earned recognition as a recent archaeological monument. It bisects the village into two sections, or mahalas, situated to the left and right of the Aoos River. The village’s name is said to derive from the roaring sound of the river’s flowing waters. The landscape here is truly magnificent, offering sights that are hard to find elsewhere.

The Aoos and Voidomatis rivers in Zagorochoria are perfect for rafting. Notably, Vovousa is one of the gateways to the Valia Calda National Park on the Ioannina side. If you’re a hiker or nature enthusiast, you’re bound to fall in love with this place. The village’s few residents are incredibly hospitable and will provide useful tips to enhance your journey.

Vovousa Village in the winter months

If you visit during the summer months, remember that a dam under the bridge has created a beautiful natural pool ideal for swimming. The refreshing swim is a highlight of the visit. Each year, a mountain festival, the Vovousa Festival, is organized by the river.

No matter when you visit this village, it’s certain to leave you thrilled and eager for more.
