About this stop
Monodendri is the base above Vikos Gorge. Spend an extra day around Vradeto before the gorge crossing: approach on the old stone steps from the Kapesovo side and continue to the Beloi viewpoint. The Geopark’s Kapesovo–Vradeto Steps–Beloi description gives a 4–5-hour planning estimate for that longer excursion. Starting in Vradeto makes a shorter outing. Arrange transport to your chosen start and back; the staircase outing is optional. Stay two nights in Monodendri in the twelve-day plan. Before leaving for the gorge, confirm current access, the day’s weather and your overnight stay or pickup at Vikos village. Photograph: A stone-paved village lane in Monodendri, Zagori.
