Milos Bridge and Old Watermill

Highlight • Bridge

At the end of Kipi there is an old water mill with a bridge and a small mill ditch. Well suited to rest in between and stretch your legs a bit. There is a simple restaurant up on the street.
This highlight can easily be expanded into a complete stone bridge round tour.

Kalogeriko (Plakidas) Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

The Sagori region is known for its stone bridges. The Kalogerikō-Plakīdas Bridge (Γεφύρι Καλογερικό Πλακίδα) with its three curved arches is probably the most famous of these. It was built in 1814 to replace a previous wooden structure at the instigation of Abbot Seraphim of the Elias Monastery in Vītsa (Kalogerikō refers to the monastery). In 1865, extensive repairs were required, which were financed by Alēxis and Andrēas Plakīdas (Αλέξιος και Ανδρέας Πλακίδας). Since then, the double name has been in use.

Kokkoros Bridge (Kyr Noutsos Bridge)

Highlight • Bridge

Visiting the Kokoros Bridge and the Plakida Bridge is possible without major effort, even for the inexperienced. On this path along a little-trafficked road, you have the opportunity to look at the flanks of the Vikos Gorge. Along the way, there are beautiful views of the Zagori villages. This short hike can be started from the parking lots located on either side.

Vikos Gorge — Upper Section

Highlight • Gorge

The upper section of the Vīkos Gorge between the Noūtsos-Kōkkoris Bridge and the Vītsa Steps is not quite as spectacular as further downstream. However, the easier paths are a good way to get into the mood.

Misios Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

The Mīsios Bridge (Γεφύρι Μίσσιου) crosses the Vīkos River and connects Vītsa with Koukoūli and Kīpi. For hikers, it is primarily the access to and from the Vītsa Steps. The bridge also offers an impressive view of the gorge, which becomes even more spectacular downstream. The bridge was built in 1748 and is named after its builder, Alēxis Mīsios (Αλέξης Μίσσιος).
