Travel to Papingo
One of the joys of Papingo is its remoteness - so the journey has to be considered part of the holiday! Papingo lies over an hours' car journey north of Ioannina. You can get buses [or fly with Olympic Air] to Ioannina, but after that public transport gets a bit slim. The Ioannina Bus Station website looks promising. There are two buses on a Tuesday to the Papingo villages, leaving Ioannina at 5.30 a.m. and 2.30 p.m. A taxi journey is possible, if a little expensive [about 50 Euros]. Car hire is available both from Ioannina town centre and from the airport. If your pack is light then you can bus to Monodendri [possibly more frequent than the Papingo buses] and then spend a day or so walking the Vikos Gorge which passes to the south of Papingo. There are good descriptions of this in Greek walking guides. Of course you can book with a travel company; excellent tours are provided by Sherpa Expeditions |
