the opportunity to walk through the gorge as part of a 4-day trek in that area.\u00a0 We had arranged our trip with &#8216;Walking Holidays *&#8217;, were met at Thessaloniki airport by our guide, Thanasis Pantes, and after an evening meal and brief tour of the city, next morning drove to Ioannina, in the region of Epirus, for lunch.\u00a0 Then a short 30km drive north to Vitsa, one of the Zagori villages and, since 1973, part of the Vikos\/Aoos National Park.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/thepaleochorasite.com\/bobsblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/Vikos-Gorge-3.jpg\" rel=\"attachment
