Pantavrechei gorge
The name means "it always rains": water falls year-round from the mossy rock walls of the canyon — one of the most photographed landscapes in Greece, and a canyoning route of legend.
Attractions
A four-season magnet.
Evrytania is a mountainous region of central Greece, 287 km from Athens, with six principal attractions within a 45-minute drive of Voutyro: the Pantavrechei gorge, the Prousos and Tatarna monasteries, the Karpenisiotis valley, the twin stone villages of Megalo and Mikro Chorio, and the Karpenisi ski centre at Velouchi (1,800 m).
Emotions Country Resort welcomes visitors all year round — an escape from the stress of the everyday. In winter, the charm of a snow-covered mountain and the warm atmosphere of home. In spring, nature reviving and the landscape unfolding. In summer, the freshness of the mountain. In autumn, the calm, the mild climate, short and long walks in the woods and to nearby villages.
One of Greece's greenest regions — summer or winter — full of verdant valleys, canyons, natural waterfalls and impressive caves. Hospitable locals, plenty to see, and a great historical past.
After your excursion, taste the fresh-cooked local specialties — chortopita, coq au vin, sausages, tsalafouti cheese, trout, spare ribs — and reboot your lost energy.
Not to miss
Six attractions worth the drive
Holy Monastery of Prousos
A Byzantine monastery built into a cliff face, a pilgrimage site and a dramatic mountain drive, ~45 min from Voutyro.
Holy Monastery of Tatarna
A 16th-century monastery clinging to the rocks above the Tavropos river — restored after the Kremasta dam was built.
Karpenisiotis valley
The long, green valley that begins in Karpenisi and winds south past Voutyro — a panorama of snow-capped peaks, fir forests and small stone villages.
Megalo Chorio & Mikro Chorio
Twin stone villages a short drive away — stone houses, plane trees, home cooking, and the folklore museum at Megalo Chorio.
Karpenisi Ski Centre
At Velouchi, 20 km from Voutyro. Slopes for every level, ski schools and a chalet with a view to the top of Roumeli.
