Zagori

How to GET here

Monodendri is one of the beautiful villages of Zagori and is built in 1060 m altitude and is 39 km away from Ioannina. It is named after a big fir-tree that had been in that area since 1840. Until 1753 it used to be a community consisting of three districts (Vitsa, Ano Mahalas, Ag. Georgios).

It came to its peak in the 17th and 18th century, when its benefactors built mansions, churches and schools there. Rizari brothers come from Monodendri.

Today, Monodendri is an attraction for visitors not only from Greece but also from abroad, throughout the year. The facilities and the services to our guests are of high quality and the Traditional Guest-House of Ladias Bros. fulfills the conditions for a pleasant stay.
