    YOUR O.A.T. ADVENTURE TRAVEL PLANNING GUIDE® Enhanced! Northern Greece, Albania & Macedonia: Ancient Lands of Alexander the Great 2022 Small Groups: 8-16 travelers—guaranteed! (average of 13) Overseas Adventure Travel ® The Leader in Personalized Small Group Adventures on the Road Less Traveled 1 Dear Traveler, At last, the world is opening up again for curious travel lovers like you and me. And the O.A.T. Enhanced! Northern Greece, Albania & Macedonia: Ancient Lands of Alexander the Great itinerary you’ve expressed interest in will be a wonderful way to resume the discoveries that bring us so much joy. You might soon be enjoying standout moments like these: As I explored the monasteries of Meteora, I stood in awe atop pinnacles perched in a boundless sky. I later learned that the Greek word meteora translates to “suspended in the air,” and that’s exactly how I felt as I stood before nature’s grandeur and the unfathomable feats of mankind. For centuries, monks and nuns have found quiet solitude within these monasteries that are seemingly built into the sandstone cliffs. You’ll also get an intimate view into two of these historic sanctuaries alongside a local guide. Could there be any place more distinct in Europe than Albania? You’ll see for yourself when you get a firsthand look into the lives of locals living in the small Albanian village of Dhoksat. First, you’ll interact with the villagers and help them with their daily tasks before sharing a Home-Hosted Lunch with a local family. While savoring the fresh ingredients of the region, you’ll discuss daily life in the Albanian countryside with your hosts.

Majestic canyons, stone stairs, unique bridges and endless peaks compose the image that the visitor confronts in this area. Forty-six scattered villages, like eagle's nests, spread among the mountains of Timfi, Mitsikeli and Lygkos. The seminar will be a small trip for all of us, to the special region of Epirus, with its wonderful music and songs, with its simple and strange dances. During the workshop, songs, customs and traditions will be taught mainly from different villages of the region of Epirus. There will be daily dance teaching, songs learning and traditional costumes presentation by the corresponding introducer of each region. Furthermore, we are going to have the opportunity to visit corresponding villages, to participate in feasts with the residents of the villages and to taste their local foods.

De Pindos behoort tot de provincies Epiros en Thessalië, en ligt op het noordwestelijk vasteland van Griekenland. De bewoners van het gebied leefden van landbouw, veeteelt en handel. Pas recentelijk komen daar wat inkomsten bij uit (voornamelijk Grieks) toerisme. Er wonen nog steeds niet veel mensen, zeker niet in de winter. In de zomer komen Griekse dagjesmensen en weekendgangers de bruggen bewonderen en genieten van de frisse lucht en het heerlijke eten. Hier komen nog wolven en beren in het wild voor, al is de kans op een ontmoeting wel érg klein. scherpe pieken en smalle diepe kloven prachtige boogbruggen verblijf in hotels en pensions op kamers met eigen sanitair bagagevervoer Noord Pindos De Noord Pindos is bekend om de Zagoria-dorpen met hun specifieke huizen en de Vikos-kloof. Hier vinden we de bijzondere steenformaties die op stapels munten lijken. Je wandelt in de buurt van de Vikos-kloof. Deze is volgens het Guinness Book of Records de diepste kloof ter wereld: 900 meter diep op het smalste punt (diepere kloven als de Grand Canyon hebben een grotere breedte-diepteverhouding). De routes voeren over landwegen en soms smalle bergpaden. De paden zijn over het algemeen goed open en redelijk gemarkeerd, maar kunnen hoogtevreesgevoelig zijn.

    The Natural Wonders Meteora-Zagori Table of Contents Trip Highlights, Map, Tour Details, Itinerary, What’s included, Itinerary Changes, Grade and Terrain, Condition Grading, Starting point and getting there, Food, Weather, Gear checklist, Currency & Banking, Passports, Visas The North-West corner of Greece is known for its dramatic terrain of mountains, gorges, rivers and remote settlements. It is the most mountainous region in the country which is blessed with a lush and soaring landscape, and mountain villages that preserve their traditional architecture. One would hardly recall many places in Europe that feel so untainted by tourism. Our trip starts from Athens, with the first stop in Meteora, literally meaning “suspended in the air”. Meteora are the world-famous stunning rock pillars that rise impressively above the plain of Thessaly. The monasteries built by monks six hundred years ago on the top of these rocks, create a unique synthesis of nature and man. Moving further North, entering the “Epirus” region, you’ll discover the magnificent 12- km-long Vikos Gorge, one of the world’s deepest. Α national park filled with forests, waterfalls and ice-cold mountain lakes, surrounded by the Zagorohoria, immaculate stone villages. They constitute an entity of 46 villages with clear geographic boundaries and definite historic and cultural characteristics. It’s easy to see why the Zagorians have been keeping Zagori a secret from the world for so long. Trip Highlights - Explore Meteora, massive world renown, monastery-topped rock pinnacles,

De ondergrond bestaat gedeeltelijk uit kalksteen en gedeeltelijk uit kalkarme gesteenten. Dat geeft aanleiding om hier naar botanische rijkdom te kijken. De eerste week verblijven we aan de kust schuin tegenover Corfu in Lichnos wat behoort tot het havenstadje Parga. Boven Parga steekt de oude Citadelruïne boven de stad uit. Je hebt er een schitterend uitzicht op de Middellandse Zee en de kust. Rondom wandelen we door uitgebreide olijfboomgaarden en door bloemrijke gebieden. Ook bezoeken we een moerasgebied (Kalodiki), waar we verrassend veel andere botanische rijkdom zien die je rondom Parga niet tegenkomt.
