TRIP NOTES

What to Expect

Click here to visit our Greek Lux Journey page

You are embarking on an adventure in a place and among people whose lives might vary from your own. Aspects of life in Europe and in the villages in the Zagori region might seem unusual. Remember that these are often the same aspects that make an area an exotic and attractive destination.

While the advantages of a staycation are that you can choose how hard you want this trip to be, no trek is easy, even those rated “easy or moderate”. In addition to the personal physical challenges you may face, travel conditions can present unexpected obstacles, such as rough and bumpy roads and changeable weather conditions, especially in the mountains.

To prepare for this, “pack” a flexible and relaxed attitude. Bring a spirit of adventure and inquiry, a healthy sense of humour, and a willingness to encounter the unexpected, and you will find Walking in Epirus the adventure of a lifetime!

Visa

Australian citizens visiting Schengen countries do not need to apply for visas if staying for not more than 90 out of 180 days.

Even so, you will need to provide personal data when entering the Schengen area, collected as part of the new EES from late 2025, and apply for an ETIAS authorisation presumably from April 2027 onward. For further information, please see below.

For any other nationalities please click here to be referred to the Schengen Visa Info Website.

EES

EES stands for Entry-Exit System. EES is expected to be operational in late 2025.

The EES applies to you if you are a non-EU national travelling for a short stay to a European country using the EES and you either:

  • possess a short-stay visa; or
  • do not need a visa to stay for a maximum of 90 days in any 180-day period.

Your travel document data and other personal data will be collected, including your entry and exit dates, and will be registered electronically in the system. This procedure will facilitate your border crossing.

If this is your first time arriving at an EU-border crossing point since the EES implementation, you’ll be required to provide your personal information. Passport control officers will scan your fingerprints or take a photo of your face, and this data will be stored in a digital file.

Please click here for further information on the new Entry Exit System.

ETIAS

The launch of the ETIAS has recently been delayed to April 2027.
 

ETIAS stands for European Travel Information and Authorisation System.

ETIAS will pre-screen travelers from “third countries,” which refers to citizens of countries that do not require a Schengen visa.

ETIAS is not a visa, it is a visa waiver, similar to the U.S. ESTA and Canadian eTA. Travelers currently visiting European Member countries visa-free will require an ETIAS from pr​obably April 2027 onward. Passport holders of the EU single market are exempt from ETIAS. 

Please click here for further information on Visa and ETIAS Requirements for your country.

Schengen Entry Requirements

You will have to present several documents at the Schengen port of entry, to be permitted to enter if you are a non-EU/Schengen country national, regardless if you are a visa-exempt or not.

The documents you need to provide when entering the Schengen Area are as follows:

  • Valid Passport: Issued within the previous 10 years and valid for at least 3 months after the date you intend to leave the EU.
  • Schengen Visa: If you are a national of one of the countries in need of a visa.
  • Covid 19: There are currently no COVID-19 pandemic-related restrictions on entering the Schengen Zone or Switzerland.
    Nevertheless, we do advise all of our guests to monitor and seek the official travel advisories of their government. 
  • Please click here for the latest news and to help identify the EU requirements according to your travel plans. Further, you can find the latest information on travel regulations for EU countries on the IATA website.
  • EU/Schengen border officials may also ask for other information and documents such as sufficient funds, proof of accommodation, how long you intend to stay, round-trip airline ticket, the purpose of your entry, travel insurance, invitation letter, etc.

    Please ensure the border officer gives you an entry stamp in your passport when you enter the Schengen area. Without a stamp, you could be fined or detained.

Please always seek up-to-date advise before your departure as entry conditions can rapidly change.

For further information, please check out Schengen Visa Information and Schengen Visa News.

Departure

Please check with your airline and your returning home country or next/ final destination regarding COVID-19 and other entry requirements.

The hotel in Athens will be boutique-style, minutes walk from the Acropolis and the Athens Cathedral. Surrounding it are dozens of restaurants and shops.

The hotel in Zagori is the Aristi Mountain Lodge, a superb hotel, built in the same style as the stone houses that make up the small village of Aristi. 

The Aristi will be our STAYCATION home for 7 days. Unpacking our bags here upon arrival on Day 2 and repacking them upon our departure back to Athens on Day 9.

Please be aware that room sizes in hotels and their facilities will vary from one place to the next and sometimes from room to room within one hotel.

Getting There And Away

Transfers

To offer more flexibility to our guests there are no scheduled city transfers in Athens on your arrival day.

We have organised RETURN TRANSFERS from Athens to Aristi via a flight to Ioannina on day 2 and further information will be sent to you in your welcome documents.

Athens

Beneath the shadow of the Acropolis, life spills into lively squares, open-air tavernas, and bustling markets where the scent of grilled lamb, oregano, and fresh bread fills the air. It’s a place of contradictions—gritty and graceful, chaotic and deeply cultured. History lives in its marble ruins and Byzantine churches, while daily life hums with strong coffee, passionate conversation, and late-night dinners. Athenians embrace life with a mix of defiance and joy, unhurried but intense. Wander through Plaka’s cobbled alleys or sip ouzo by the sea in Piraeus, and you’ll feel a city that’s lived many lives yet pulses with youth.

Epirus and Zagori

Tucked away in Greece’s rugged northwest, Epirus and the Zagori region feel like a well-kept secret—untouched, majestic, and timeless. Here, stone-built villages cling to green hillsides, connected by arched bridges and ancient cobbled paths. Designated a UNESCO World Heritage cultural landscape, Zagori is a living mosaic of 46 traditional villages where slate-roofed houses, Byzantine chapels, and local hospitality endure. The Pindus Mountains rise dramatically, with misty peaks, alpine lakes, and the astonishing Vikos Gorge carving through the heart of the land. The air is cool and pine-scented, the skies vast and clean. Food here is slow-cooked and soul-warming: wild mushroom pies, local cheeses, hand-rolled pasta, and meats grilled over open fires.

Zagori and the Astraka Range

History

Epirus (Zagori is a major part of this region) has long stood at the crossroads of myth, empire, and resistance. In antiquity, it was home to the Molossians—one of the Greek tribes—and famed for the oracle of Dodona, second only to Delphi. The region’s greatest historical figure was King Pyrrhus of Epirus (319–272 BCE), a brilliant but ill-fated general whose costly victories against Rome gave rise to the term “Pyrrhic victory.” Under Pyrrhus, Epirus briefly became a major Hellenistic power, expanding into Italy and challenging Rome during its rise.

During the Roman and Byzantine eras, Epirus was a frontier zone, its rugged terrain offering refuge and rebellion. In the Middle Ages, it became the Despotate of Epirus, a key Greek successor state after the fall of Constantinople in 1204. Later, it endured centuries of Ottoman rule, emerging as a center of Greek cultural and national revival in the 18th and 19th centuries.

Epirus’ global significance lies in its role as a cradle of resistance—against Rome, the Ottomans, and even nature itself. Today, its preserved villages, ancient ruins, and cultural traditions reflect a land that has weathered history’s storms while fiercely protecting its identity.

Zagori/Epirus FAQ'S

Zagori – What is so special?

If walking is meditative and healing, then walking in the UNESCO World Heritage–listed region of Zagori, with its ancient stone villages and dramatic mountain landscapes, will leave you recharged and deeply content.

Considered one of Greece’s best-kept secrets, Zagori offers spectacular rugged mountain trails, forested valleys, and, in the right season, meadows bursting with wildflowers. Stone bridges span crystal-clear rivers, while mountain refuges offer warm meals and shelter in this wild and deeply beautiful terrain.

What is a Staycation?

During our hiking journey, we’ll be based at the Aristi Mountain Lodge. This luxurious eco-hotel will be our home for seven nights and the perfect base for our daily adventures.

The option to spend a night in a traditional mountain refuge is included in the trip, with further details provided in your welcome pack.

When is the best time to walk in Zagori?

The ideal time to explore Epirus is from mid-June to late July and again from late August to mid-September. June offers solitude and blooming alpine flowers. August can be busy with European holidaymakers, but the trails quieten again in September.

How hard is the Zagori Explorer Trip?

With the convenience of a STAYCATION, you can participate in as many or as few daily activities as you like. This makes the trip as leisurely or as challenging as you prefer. Please see the Fitness section below for more details.

What do I have to carry?

Thanks to the STAYCATION model, you only need to carry a light daypack weighing around 5–7 kilograms.

How do I train for the activities in Zagori?

We recommend preparing for this trek with a dedicated five- to six-month training plan. Your training should include regular hikes with increasing elevation, distance, and duration. Get used to walking with a daypack (5–7 kg), wearing your boots, and using hiking poles.

Our welcome pack includes a basic training regime, and you’ll also have access to our optional online training program.

You don’t need to be a superhero to enjoy this experience, but the fitter you are, the more rewarding the journey will be.

On certain days, the hikes may include rocky descents that require good footing and balance.

Altitude and Distance

Altitude won’t be an issue—Zaogori’s trails remain well below 3000 metres, ensuring a comfortable but invigorating mountain experience.

We do encounter a variety of longer and shorter treks on this trip.

Zagori – What’s it like underfoot?

Underfoot, you will experience a variety of tracks and trails in Zagori. Typically, the mountainous sections run on single tracks and paths that can be rocky in places; sometimes with steps but mostly just the bare earth. Mud is not really a problem in the summer months. Tracks are also common – perhaps gravel forest roads, ski pistes, or rough tracks for vehicles over agricultural land.

Note: Walking Poles are a must for this trip and do not only provide you with extra stability but also ensure even blood circulation in your arms.

Why choose a guided tour?

Our lead guides are fully trained, registered, and licensed IFMGA members who work for us regularly. All mountain lovers, they are frequently skiing, climbing, and hiking many of the routes around the area and are going on regular hikes exploring Zagori and beyond in their spare time. They provide security and safety on our multi-activities during this trip while helping us discover the natural and historical heritage of the area we visit. They will provide you with weather updates and trek conditions daily. Their great knowledge of the area gives them the ability to adapt the route according to weather conditions and group strength. 

While you need to ensure to get into an adequate physical shape for the trek your guide will look after all the required preparation for trekking safely in the mountains while you enjoy an unforgettable experience.

What is the accommodation like?

This is where this trip DIFFERS from many others.

During our time in Zagori, we will be residing in the Arist Mountain Lodge, a luxurious 4-star hotel situated in the small village of Aristi in the heart of Zagori. The Astraka mountains sprawl out across the landscape and from the hotel we have unsurpassed views of this range and the Vikos Gorge.

Our Journey starts and ends in Athens staying at the incredible Ergon House. Ergon prides itself on reinventing a hotel around its love of food. Just beneath the hotel is Ergon Cafe where we will have breakfast each in what is quickly becoming a must visit restaurant for all visitors.

Health and Safety procedures along the trek?

No Roads is constantly monitoring and following the advice of government bodies and has developed detailed safety protocols for all guests and team members. 
We are also in constant contact with our local partners and teams abroad helping us to monitor and comply with the implemented safety measures and restrictions of each destination. More detailed information will be sent along with the joining information closer to the departure of your trip.

Health And Safety

All No Roads Expeditions trekkers need to be in good physical health in order to participate fully in the group travel experience. If in the opinion of our group leader, any traveller is unable to complete the itinerary without undue risk to themselves and/ or the rest of the group, No Roads Expeditions reserves the right to exclude them from all, or part of a trip without refund.

Although there are no specific health requirements for this trip please be aware you need to be in good health to undertake this trip due to the sometimes demanding conditions that exist in these areas. You should consult your doctor if you have any medical conditions to assess your suitability before departure.

Your leader will have a first aid kit for emergencies we recommend that you carry First Aid supplies for common ailments as well as any personal medical requirements. Please be aware that we are in remote areas and away from medical facilities for some time during this trip, and for legal reasons, our leaders are prohibited from administering any type of drug including headache tablets, antibiotics, etc.

We will do everything we can to support guests that have disclosed a medical condition, allergy or anaphylaxis, by informing all in-country personnel and ensuring reasonable provisions are made. We do, however, suggest and encourage all affected guests in this situation to assist us by reconfirming this information in situations or instances where it may be required to ensure everyone has a safe and enjoyable adventure experienc

Immunization

Currently, there are no vaccine requirements to enter the Schengen Area, of which Greece is part of, for travelers entering the Schengen Zone without a visa. If a Schengen Visa is required, travelers will be advised of any possible vaccine requirements at the time of their consulate interview.

Please also consult your doctor on these matters.

You should consider MMR (Measles, Mumps and Rubella) and a combination vaccine TDaP (Tetanus, Diphtheria, and Pertussis). We recommend that you ensure your tetanus cover is up to date. 

MMR (Measles, Mumps, and Rubella) Vaccine– Over the last decade, measles outbreaks have become more common in Europe. Protect yourself with this simple immunization.

TDaP (Tetanus, Diphtheria, and Pertussis) Vaccine– Due in part to immigration patterns, some diseases like diphtheria have resurfaced in Europe.

Flu Vaccine – Europe has been hit quite hard by the flu in recent years. If you plan on traveling during a high flu time (September to April) be sure to have the vaccine before you go.

Plan ahead for getting your vaccinations (seriously, vaccinations are one thing that should NEVER be left until the last minute when TIME can truly be your enemy). Some of them require an initial shot followed by a booster, while some vaccinations should not be given together.

General Travel Advice

All No Roads staff and teams consider guest safety and wellbeing an absolute priority and always follow the travel advice and guidelines of the World Health Organisation (WHO) and Smartraveller. To further maintain the safety of our travelers, we promote good personal and hand hygiene along with adherence to safe food preparation practices.

Dietary Requirements

We are able to cater to all common special dietary requirements, however, we can not cater to vegans on this trip. The cuisine on this journey is not only delicious but nutritious. Both Ergon House and the Aristi push Greek cuisine into contemporary creations of old Greek favorites. We know you are going to love Greece for this reason alone.

Due to this heavy gluten, cheese, and meat-based diet, the meal choices for special requirements might be limited depending on your requirements.

Please advise us prior to your departure if you have any food allergies we should be aware of.

Note: The No Roads team will do everything it can to support any allergies which might require a special diet by informing all

in-country personnel and ensuring reasonable provisions are made for all meals. We do, however, suggest and encourage all affected guests to assist us by providing this information while traveling, in situations or instances where it may be required to ensure everyone has a safe and enjoyable experience.

If you do have an uncommon dietary requirement please contact our office directly.

Sustainable Travel

Philosophy

We believe strongly in low impact or rather a positive impact from tourism. Broadly speaking, this means that we try to minimise the negative aspects of tourism on the local cultures and environments that we visit and highlight the positive aspects. Please see our online policy for more details on our social and environmental approach and commitment.

THE ENVIRONMENT

Many of the places you will visit are pristine. As travelers, we should try to have as little impact on these natural environments as possible. As such we recommend the following:

  • Please do not dispose of plastic bags and wrappers in the countryside along the way. These may be put in your backpack and disposed of at your local hotel at the end of the day.
  • Follow the well-marked walking tracks and avoid walking through grassland and regrowth areas. 
  •  Do not touch or fed any wildlife spotted on the way as you might cause severe harm to the animal.

By abiding by these simple guidelines, you will be protecting the local environment for the people who live there and for their children’s children.

The Local Community

Our philosophy and aim are to pay back to the local communities.

No Roads dedicated in supporting local environmental projects in the places we visit. A $20.00 donation of each expedition booking is going towards a local charity project. For more information please visit our charity tab on the top of each expedition page.
