Aristi in western Zagori is a beautiful head village located on the road to Papigo and the village of Vikos (with a stunning view of the homonymous gorge and Astraka). In recent years it is one of the Zagorochoria with the greatest tourist development without losing its character at all.

In Aristi you will find some remarkable guesthouses while in the central small square with the large plane tree and the old kiosk (our visit was 5-6 years ago so the kiosk may have been “modernized” or “transferred”) you will find the cafeteria “En Aristi” for coffee, dessert or traditional Zagori dishes.

The view to and from Aristi is excellent. As you approach you will have the opportunity to see the village from above while the further you get towards the settlement you will enjoy the view of the stone houses built in wooded and green slopes (depending of course on the season you go as the colours change impressively).

From the village you will see the impressive mountain peaks and the serpentine uphill road that leads to the famous Papigo (and Mikro Papigo).
