Get ready for an exciting adventure in the mountains of Tzoumerka! We’ll explore the breathtaking views of Mt. Lakmos and visit the legendary Verlinga dragon lake.

We’ll also take a guided tour of the charming traditional villages of Syrrako and Kipina’s monastery, where you’ll learn about the rich history and customs of the locals.

But that’s not all! We’ll also have a chance to cook and taste traditional recipes using fresh local ingredients while enjoying the beauty of nature. This off-road adventure is perfect for those who want to experience the natural wonders and cultural heritage of Tzoumerka.

Description:

Our journey begins with the first stop at the Kipina monastery, an extraordinary monastery built on a steep rock. We will then continue to the Kouiassa waterfalls, where we can take a dip in the crystal clear waters of the Kalarritikos river before enjoying some coffee and snacks at a small forest cafe.

Next, we will head to Syrrako, a traditional stone-built village, where we will explore the charming narrow streets and immerse ourselves in the village’s history and culture.

Our adventure continues with a trek towards the peaks of Mt. Lakmos, where we will discover the breathtaking dragon lake of Verlinga and cook up a delicious meal using local products while enjoying the stunning view of Ioannina city and its lake from above.
