    Tour Description

    The Alpine Dragonlake Hike (“Drakolimni”) of Mount Tymphy is one of the most impressive attractions of the area and Greece in general!

    The hike starts from the village of Mikro Papigko in an uphill, wonderful forest. As we leave the green forest we come across the alpine scenery and the outstanding rock formations, known as the ‘Towers of Astraka’. As soon as we reach Astraka’s mountain refuge, located at an altitude of 1950m we will enjoy a lunch, made of Greek produce and then continue our hike towards the mythical Dragonlake.  According to local folktales the lakes used to be inhabited by dragons who fought each other by throwing pines and rocks and thus created the peculiar landscape and gave their names to the lake. 

    The north side of the lake offers breathtaking views of Smolikas mountain range and Aoos valley, whereas the east side offers wonderful views of the northwest Gamilla Mount.

    Return to Mikro Papigko, finishing our wonderful hiking day in Epirus.
