View of Vikos gorge from Beloe
It is the middle of the Vikos–Aoös National Park and is about 50 km away from Ioannina. It is located only a few kilometers from the Vikos Gorge and near one of the best vantage points, Beloe (Beloi) (perhaps a Slavic word meaning "good view" or "balcony").[2] It is located also close to an alpine lake called Drakolimni (Dragon’s Lake), one of several such lakes. The lakes are named after the amphibian newts (Ichthyosaura alpestris) that live in them, around which there are myths of dragons. The myths[3] are echoes of ancient myths about the hero Pindus, son of Macedon, who either befriended or according to another myth killed a dragon.
