The beautiful Vitsa is a mountainous and traditional settlement of central Zagori with a long history and a bright future, as the people of the village are particularly interested in their place and the preservation of their cultural and architectural heritage as well as the preservation of the natural beauty of the wider area.
Vitsa is 36 km from Ioannina and you will get there by following the EO Ioannina Kozani and turning right at Karyes.
Do not miss to visit the square with the huge plane trees in “Kato Vitsa”. You will find the small road easily from the parking area where it is advisable to stop to enjoy the view of Ano Vitsa, several of my photos are from this point. Across the road there is a well known taverna with a name containing ‘Cinnamon’ (I can’t remember exactly now though).
In the lower square you will find benches and depending on the weather you can sit and drink your coffee enjoying the coolness and the shade of the plane trees overlooking the upper settlement! The first and second time we passed by Vitsas I didn’t know that there is a lower settlement and last year (2021) when we decided to walk and discovered it we were really excited by both its size and beauty.
It is built amphitheatrically in a green area and belongs to central Zagori. As you approach the settlement, enjoy the view of the stone-built houses hanging on the hillside and distinguish between them the new buildings that follow the traditional architecture that prevails in Zagorochoria.
