Tymfi

Tymfi is another mountain in the northern Pindus Mountain Range, with the highest summit, Gamila, standing at 2.497 meters. It's in Zagori's Ioannina region, near the lovely mountain villages of Zagorochoria, which are known for their traditional beauty and architecture. The Vikos Gorge is located in the southern portion of the Tymfi massif, and they are both part of the Vikos–Aoös National Park, which receives over 100,000 tourists each year. The mountain gave its name to the old municipality of the same name. It also gave its name to the ancient country of Tymphaea, as well as the Tymphaeans, one of Ancient Epirus' tribes.

The entire mountain of Tymfi, which includes the Vikos-Aoos Natural Park, is a valuable natural home for numerous species and is protected by Natura 2000. The stunning alpine Drakolimni of Tymfi, another dragon lake buried between the peaks, may be found in the western section of the mountain. The view from up there is magnificent! The Greek dragon lakes are actually glacier remnants, but legend has it that there was a dragon there fighting with the one in Smolikas Dragon Lake, as previously described.

The most popular route to get there starts at the village of Mikro Papigko, where you can stay in a variety of hotels and resorts. The path is 8.4 kilometers long and takes about 3 hours to complete, depending on your pace.
