Beloi is a Slavic origin word and perhaps means 'balcony' because the place there looks like a balcony. If anyone wants to visit this place, it is easy because we have placed many signs along the way. The distance from Vradeto is almost two kilometers and about 15-20 minutes on foot.
You should walk northeastern and you will see a sign and a fenced cave hole. It is the "Nun's cave". The myth sais that a nun had fallen inside this hole.
The path is discernible and it leads straight to Beloi. As you get closer to the rocks and walk through them, you'll stay speechless of the sight. Vicos Canyon lays just under your feet! It truly is a sight for sore eyes! You can look around, shout out loud and hear you voice echoing again... and again... and again...and again...
It is forbitten though to climb on the rocks or throw rubbish. Vicos Canyon is a huge fissure between the mountains of Astraka and Stouros,which connects Central with East Zagori. It is not a natural fissure, but it is o mountain, eaten b the river. It's length is 20 km, the width comes between 200 - 2000m. and the altimeter is about 1000m. On winter, all small rivers and rain waters terminate at Vikos Canyon but on summer the river is dry.At both river banks there are thousands of kinds of flora and fauma.
