The Vikos Gorge is located in the mountainous area of Epirus and is part of the Vikos-Aoos National Park. It is an extremely spectacular gorge due to its steep walls, rising to a height of more than 1.200 meters in several places. In fact, it is the second deepest gorge in the world, after the Grand Canyon in the USA. TheVoidomatis River crosses the Vikos Gorge and gives beautiful natural sceneries.

Although the Vikos Gorge has been called the 'deepest' gorge on earth (since 1997 it has been listed by Guinness World Records as the deepest canyon), it is not entirely true, as a special measurement method has been used that excludes other deeper places. Does not take away from the fact that the gorge is a downright natural wonder. The gorge was created because the river Voidomatis was given millions of years to erode it.

The gorge is named after the village of Vikos, where it ends. The starting point is about 600 meters after the mountain village of Monodendri. Its overall length exceeds 30km; its depth varies. In Monodendri it reaches 600 meters and is its the narrowest point and in Vikos village it reaches 1.200 meters. Vikos Gorge is nicknamed the “Grand Canyon of Greece”.
