Eleven things to do, through four seasons.
Vitina stands in a fir forest on the slopes of Menalo, between the Tripoli plateau and the Lousios gorge. What there is to do depends on the season: snow in winter, walking in spring and autumn, the river in summer.
Each page below has photographs, practical details from people who live here and, where we have one, a film. For the villages and distances, see Vitina and the area. More films are on our YouTube channel.
