From Monodendri through the Stone Forest
Ecomuseum’s itinerary leaves Monodendri through vegetation and a gentle uphill section, passing the Stone Forest’s weathered limestone slabs and columns before reaching Oxia’s panorama over Vikos Gorge. Optional village cultural stops can add time. This viewpoint walk is different from descending into the gorge.
