These days a TV crew from France visited the region of Zagori in order to produce a film on the beauties of the area.
The crew used a helicopter to make it possible for the French audience to get an idea of the wild beauty of Mount Tymfi. The helicopter also flew above Vikos Gorge and Aoos Gorge, as well as above Mount Tymfi’s highest peaks, Gamila and Astraka.
The show gave a key promotional effort for local tourism and the promotion of the Zagori region to many viewers. The members of the crew expressed their enthusiasm for the beauties of Epirus, while during their stay in hostels in Papigos and Tsepelovos, they had the chance to taste Epirus’s famous pies and local raki.
