Greek hiking towns off the beaten path.

Less-touristed hiking towns in Greece, for travelers seeking fewer crowds but all the beauty.

Konitsa stands where the Aoos and Voidomatis rivers converge below the Pindos range, and that geography alone explains why Vikos–Aoös National Park — with its gorges and Tymfi mountains — draws serious hikers to this corner of Epirus. The nine towns on this page, from Tsepelovo and Papingo in the Zagori region to Kardamyli at the foot of Mount Taygetus on the Mani Peninsula, each offer a real place to sleep, eat, and orient before the trail begins.
