A cluster
of 48 traditional picturesque villages, built amphitheatrically in the wider
area of Timfi, Pindos and Mitiskeli (Zagori region). Zagori's natural
environment is exquisite and perfect for many outdoor activities. The local
architecture is defined by stone, wood and slate rock. The name “Zagori” is
Slavic and means “beyond the mountains”. During Ottoman rule, the area reached
its economic and intellectual peak. However, Zagori declined after Ali Pasha’s
death (1822) when it lost the benefits it enjoyed. The wars of the 20th century
also had devastating effects. Zagori is divided into Western, Central and Eastern
Zagori.
