Hairpin climb facing the Vikos gorge cliffs.
This Zagori mountain road links the stone villages of Aristi and Papingo in the Pindus range of Epirus, rising from about 620m to 930m over roughly 11km with 23 hairpin turns. It follows the Voidomatis valley below the towers of the Vikos gorge, recorded by Guinness as the deepest gorge relative to its width. Mind the narrow single-track sections, livestock on the road and ice in the colder months.
