Papigo: The village in the shadow of Astraka mountain

Papigo: The village in the shadow of Astraka mountain

It proudly stands in the shadow of Astraka mountain and enchants visitors with its mysterious beauty. Papigo is one of the most charming mountain settlements in Zagori and is offered for an authentic getaway inside the embrace of the nature of Epirus. Discover Megalo and Mikro Papigo!

Papigo village is divided into two neighborhoods, Megalo (Big) Papigo and Mikro (Small) Papigo. You will reach Megalo Papigo after a 12 km. drive from Aristi, the “gate” that will introduce you to the magic of Zagori. With the Towers of Astraka at the background, Megalo Papigo impresses visitors with its traditional zagorian architecture, cobbled streets and fairytale atmosphere.

Three km. away from Megalo Papigo, at the end of the road, you will meet Mikro Papigo, a paradise of calmness and peacefulness. Situated at an altitude of 980 meters, below Mount Tymfi, Mikro Papigo satisfies even the most demanding guests with its traditional architecture, lush vegetation and unparalleled beauty. Stone paths, old mansions and stone churches, narrow streets and rich natural landscape create a uniquely beautiful setting in Mikro Papigo.

Between Mikro and Megalo Papigo, you will find the natural swimming pool called "Rogovo". The water erosion forms round pits, which look like small ponds, which the locals call ovires.

For you accommodation, choose Mikro Papigo 1700 Hotel and Spa, the first “green” hotel in the region of Epirus, that is not yet another hotel in Zagorohoria. Awarded for its eco-consciousness, it combines all that you could ever wish from your selected boutique hotel: a fairytale landscape, an immense choice of outside activitiestraditional conceptsdesign aesthetics and unbeatable services.
