Stone-Built Serenity
in the Heart of Pindus!
Perched at 1,200 meters on the rugged slopes of the Pindus range, Syrrako stands as one of the most authentic and untouched mountain villages in Epirus. A car-free, stone-built settlement where tradition remains alive in every detail — from the architecture to the rhythm of daily life.
Syrrako invites you to slow down and reconnect with simplicity. Wander through narrow cobbled alleys, marvel at grand stone mansions once home to merchants and poets, and breathe in the crisp mountain air. Its amphitheatrical layout, dramatic scenery, and peaceful atmosphere make it feel like a place frozen in time — untouched, elegant, and soul-stirring.
Here, you don’t just visit a village — you experience the living memory of mountainous Greece.
It’s an experience that brings together nature, flavor, culture, and heartfelt hospitality. It’s waiting for you to discover it with us !!

A Hidden Gem of Artistry
Tucked deep in the Pindus Mountains, just 20 minutes from Syrrako, lies Kalarrites — a village small in size but vast in heritage. With fewer than 20 permanent residents, this stone-built settlement radiates the quiet strength of a place that has shaped history through the delicate hands of its artisans.
Known for its celebrated tradition in silversmithing, Kalarrites once supplied intricate masterpieces to royal courts and monasteries. Today, echoes of that golden era remain in its preserved homes, the stories of locals, and the enduring spirit of fine craftsmanship.
Stroll through its cobbled lanes, sip tsipouro on a sun-drenched terrace, and savor authentic Epirote dishes in a rustic taverna. In Kalarrites, time slows, art breathes, and hospitality is served warm — straight from the heart of the mountains.
It’s an experience that brings together nature, flavor, culture, and heartfelt hospitality. It’s waiting for you to discover it with us !!

A 13th-Century Monastery
Within the Mountain
Just 15 minutes from Kalarrites, Kipina Monastery reveals itself — not loudly, but with quiet grandeur. Carved into a sheer vertical cliff in 1212, this 13th-century monastic jewel is one of the most breathtaking spiritual landmarks in Greece.
The short, winding footpath that leads to its entrance prepares you for something rare: a moment suspended between earth and sky. Once inside, the monastery’s modest cells, wooden balconies, and panoramic views invite a deep stillness — as if the rock itself were holding centuries of whispered prayers.
Kipina is more than a place to visit. It is a place to pause. To feel the weight of history, the solitude of the mountains, and the quiet power of faith hewn in stone.
It’s an experience that brings together nature, flavor, culture, and heartfelt hospitality. It’s waiting for you to discover it with us !!
