Smolikas, Mountain summit in Northern Pindos, Greece.
The Smolikas peak reaches 2,637 meters, making it the second highest mountain in Greece, situated east of the Aoos valley near Mount Tymfi.
Archaeological findings reveal Neanderthal settlements and tools from the Paleolithic period in the areas surrounding Mount Smolikas, indicating early human presence.
The mountain regions maintain strong connections to Vlach communities, who practice traditional livestock farming and textile production in high-altitude settlements.
Multiple hiking trails lead to the summit from villages like Pades and Samarina, with the Smolikas Refuge providing accommodation between May and November.
Drakolimni, an alpine lake at 2,200 meters altitude, contains rare Alpine newts and forms part of a geological formation created by ancient glacial activity.
