Samarina Village: The Greek village that is the highest in the Balkans

Samarina is a charming village in Grevena that attracts visitors throughout the year. It offers natural beauty, tranquility, and delicious food. It is famous for its traditional cuisine, especially its meat dishes.

Samarina is located at an altitude of 1,450 meters and is the highest village in Greece and the Balkans. It is an authentic Vlach village that preserves its traditions and shows you a different side of Greece that you will miss. Besides being high up, this village is also lively. The locals are mostly livestock farmers and very active. They work hard but they also know how to enjoy themselves, and you will notice that as soon as you arrive.

The taverns are full of both visitors and locals who gather to drink tsipouro, and beer, and have a bite. They welcome you to join them. If you are lucky, you might hear some stories from the old days from an elder. Stories about the village and its legends. And you will promise yourself that you will come back someday…

It takes about six hours to drive, so you should plan to stay at least some days to avoid exhaustion and make the most of your trip. Ioannina City, the closest city to Samarina with an airport is about 136 km and a 2-hour drive from there. You will enjoy many walks in the woods, and if you are into hiking, you will find trails that are like fairy tales.
