The Vikaki Gorge begins in the village of Tsepelovo and ends at the village of Kipi covering a total distance of approximately 4 kilometers. Here it โmeets the Bagiotiko stream and by merging together they form Vikos stream. This gorge lies hidden in the โheart of the beautiful natural environment of Zagori.! It is tucked away southeast of the Astraka peakฯ, vibrant with light blue crystal clear water โponds, steep slopes on both sides and lush vegetation. โ
