Zagoria Villages: Asprageloi village in Zagoria
Asprageloi of Zagoria 01 Asprageloi village Zagoria: The name of this village means ‘white angels’, and this is the first to be found in the area of Zagoria, followed by Elati, Dilofo and Kipi. However, it used to be called ‘Dovra’ –a Slavic word- until 1928.

Today, this is the name of a luxury hotel found on the first crossroad leading to each Zagorian village.Aspraggeli is built at an altitude of 990m above sea level. It is part of Central Zagoria and is placed at a distance of 30 ks from the city of Ioannina, which is the administrative centre of Epirus area.
 
During the German occupation this was one of the many Zagorian villages that were destroyed as reprisals. This was due to the collaboration given by the villagers to the resistance movements of ELAS. and EDES. However, these times are long gone, and in relation to the rest of the villages in the area, Aspraggeli has recovered its very traditional architecture. Although some modern facilities were added as time went by, this feature has been respected in general terms.

Among the surrounding places of interest, we can mention the Kalogeriko bridge, a masterpiece with three arches found close to the village of Kipi. Enjoy the visit to this village leading to the rest of Zagoria, and get prepaired for what comes after this!
