Our Family Legacy
Nestled in the heart of the majestic Pindus Mountains, Wild Lavender Resort is more than just a destination; it's a celebration of heritage, nature, and the enduring charm of Papigo.
Behind Wild Lavender is a family with a rich legacy in the local area and the hospitality business, driven by a desire to offer more than just a place to stay; to allow guests to truly connect with the essence of Papigo and the warmth of its community. Our story begins with a deep-rooted passion for hospitality, cultivated over the years through the renowned family guesthouse and restaurant Nikos & Ioulia.
Our dream was to create a sanctuary that not only pays homage to the wild beauty of Papigo but also preserves the essence of its timeless tradition. Today, Wild Lavender stands as a testament to this vision, offering guests an intimate encounter with the village's serene landscapes and rich cultural tapestry.
Papigo Village
Nestled within the rugged beauty of Epirus, the twin villages of Megalo and Mikro Papigo are jewels set against the backdrop of the towering Astraka Towers peak, part of the majestic Mount Gamila. These stone-built settlements, with their enchanting, cobbled streets, are the epitome of serenity and picturesque charm.
The journey to Papigo is an experience in itself, meandering through the scenic landscapes of the Zagori region, with a must-stop at the crystal-clear waters of the Voidomatis River, before reaching the villages tucked under Astraka's shadow. Delightful options for coffee, local cuisine and products, and the warm hospitality of the locals add to the allure of this mountain paradise, a place where the charm of old-world Greece is preserved and celebrated.
Papigo is not just a feast for the eyes but also a haven for outdoor enthusiasts, nature lovers and culture seekers. It is surrounded by the unparalleled natural beauty of the Zagori region, home to the Vikos Gorge, the largest canyon in Europe, offering an array of outdoor activities from rafting in the turquoise waters of Voidomatis to hiking and trekking through the gorge itself. For those inclined towards history and architecture, the Monastery of Panagia Spiliotissa offers a glimpse into the region's rich past, while the Church of Agios Vlasios stands as a testament to the artistic and spiritual heritage of the western Zagori region.
Whether you're looking to indulge in the tranquility of mountain life, explore the great outdoors, or immerse yourself in the local culture and history, Papigo offers an unforgettable experience for every traveler.
