Vikos Gorge


The Vikos Gorge is a gorge in the Pindus Mountains of northern Greece. It lies on the southern slopes of Mount Tymfi. It is listed as the deepest gorge in the world by the Guinness Book of Records among others. Its length is about 20 km, depth ranging from 450 m to 1600 m and width from 400 m to some meters at its narrowest part. There is a natural viewing platform over the deepest part of the gorge at Oxia. Another viewpoint over the gorge is at Beloi, on the eastern side of the gorge.
