Get walking in the Greek mountains
The mountain range is home to one of the world's deepest gorges, Vikos Gorge, and a walking holiday is a great way of seeing the cliffs, ravines, rivers and waterfalls of the gorge and the surrounding mountains. There are more than 50 different varieties of orchids in the mountains, and almost 2,000 varieties of wild flowers. One of the popular trails in the mountains is the Vradeto Steps - a winding series of steps descending a vertical cliff, where you can also see rare orchids and wild herbs.
