Pindus Mountains

North of Nafpaktos, mountains and gorges rise towards Vardousia and the interior of central Greece. Oak, fir, beech, plane and chestnut trees cover the slopes of mountainous Nafpaktia, broken by high pastures and paths used by herders. To the east the Vardousia massif rises above the Mornos valley, its great fir forests giving way to steep peaks. The rivers and ravines make this a landscape of many separate valleys.
