High Pindus crossing between Metsovo and Panagia
The old EO6 crosses the Katara pass through the Pindus mountains between Metsovo and the village of Panagia, reaching about 1705 metres. The road winds through pine and spruce forest with long views over the Aoos and Pineios valleys, now quiet since the Egnatia motorway tunnels opened. Mind the seasonal snow closures, fog at altitude and slow recovery vehicles.
