Summary: An wonderful tour in a Holy Day on the Holy Week before the Orthodox Easter. With a very knowledgeable guide, who loves the region and who showed us some hidden gems from the area...who wants more? Even Dimitris loves canyoning, you may consider yourself lucky if you will have him as guide for a tour in the region of Zagori.
