Vradeto bridges and stairs
Today you will visit the incredible Vradeto Stairs!
The route will start from the village of Kipi, where the overnight stay was. On the way you have 2 bridges marked - be sure to see them, especially the Misiou bridge.
After that transfer to Vradeto. You will love the road, it's amazingly scenic with panoramic views and a forest of slender pine trees.
Once in the village of Vradeto, prepare for the descent. From the edge of the village begins a serpentine stone staircase that seems to lead to an abyss. But in fact it leads to the neighboring village. Take your time to get down and enjoy the infinite view. Reserve some energy for the ascent.
After that, it's on to Monodendri, where you'll stay at a hotel. If you have more energy, you should go to the church of Agia Paraskevi

From this bridge I suggest a walk along the river bed to the next bridge. It will be an easy and pleasant walk

Misiou Stone Bridge
While some bridges look a bit like each other, this one is different in that there are sheer cliffs on both sides. The landscape is impressive!

Vradeto
This is where the road to the amazing Vradeto Stairs begins. On the way to this village, on the road, you may notice a sign for the lower part of the trail to the stairs. It is near the village of Capesovo. If you like, make a short stop there to take pictures of the gorge from the other side. However, I recommend that you do not start at the bottom of the stairs, but go to Vradeto and visit the upper part of the stairs.
In the village, take water and something to eat, because the walk will be long. But fantastically scenic!
You can even schedule more time on the Stairs if you've taken a lunchbox and don't plan to eat lunch at the establishment afterwards.
Park in the center of Vradeto and continue on foot, following the signs to the stairs

Vradeto Stairs
There's the famous staircase! You can go all the way down, but remember that you have to climb back up again. Take your time and enjoy the view!
Just imagine, recently this is how the inhabitants of Vradeto used to visit the residents of the neighbouring village of Kapesovo.

After a brisk walk in Vradeto, a relaxing evening awaits you here. Park outside the hotel and walk to the ancient church of Agia Paraskevi. Not only will you enjoy the church itself, but also the view of the canyon.

KANELLA & GARYFALLO
It is better to book a table in advance, because the restaurant is very popular. The restaurant has its own speciality: almost all the dishes here are made of mushrooms!
