Astraka towers in Tymi mountain in Vikos Aoos Geopark
Bare karst in Vikos Aoos Geopark. The unique geological features compose a landscape of incomparable beauty, with excellent scientific and educational potential. Steep, rocky mountaintops alternate with deep gorges and hill ranges with lush vegetation, tectonic and lithological structures, springs, sinks and caves, rock shelters and precipices, river terraces, glacial remnants and alpine lakes are some of the elements that designate this place as a laboratory of nature

Vikos gorge in Vikos Aoos Geopark. In 2010 part of Northern Pindos National Park became a member of the European Geoparks Network and the Global Network of National Geoparks assisted by UNESCO. Thus Vikos Aoos Geopark was established which is characterized by numerous impressive geosites with a wide range of geological interest related to petrological, tectonic, geomorphological, hydrogeological and geocultural structures. The main 44 geological sites have been catalogued and mapped by the Institute of Geology and Mineral Exploration
Weathering formations in Vikos canyon. The alternating glacial and interglacial environments, and the geodynamic processes which created fast ascendant movements, combined with the tectonic-karstic phenomena, created favourable conditions for intense erosion
