Hiking

Until the end of the 20th century there was only one way to get to the lovely Zagori village of Vradeto - via the so-called Steps (Skala), a winding staircase with about 1000 steps that climbed the side of a gorge (Vikos Gorge ) was built. It starts at the end of a long road from the Zagori village of Kapesovo. The accessibility of Vradeto probably explains its location in the inhospitable highlands near the top of Mount Tymfi. A street was opened in the 1970s.

Hiking

The staircase stretches over 1100 steps and overcomes a height difference of around 250 metres, including 39 narrow needle-point curves. Until the 1970s, this staircase was the only way to and from Vradēto; the current road connection was only completed in 1974.

In addition to the impressive staircase, the view of the rocky flanks, the Mesariā Gorge and the Gradhīsta mountain range is also extremely impressive.
