Together we meet on our way astonishing mountain landscapes, hidden ancient churches with frescoes located in the mountain valleys, a traditional, but not a touristic village, where local people gasp when they see an unfamiliar car, it is so unusual for them to see "strangers" here (here we will have the opportunity to taste real Greek coffee in a real Greek kafeneio - well, let's try to pretend we are locals!)
