Mountain village with its own history
Fragkades is described in verified tourist descriptions as a traditionally preserved settlement in connection with central Zagori. The descriptions link the traditional character of the place with its elevation and the historical reference through the Monastery of Saint Nicholas. For your planning, this is especially relevant if the accommodation is to be in a small mountain village and the landscape as well as historical destinations are to frame the trip.
Historical destinations in the village and the surrounding area
Below the village square is the Monastery of Saint Nicholas of Fragkades. In the description, it is dated to the year 1578; according to this, only the katholikon has been preserved. This gives Fragkades a specific historical reference directly in the village, without any opening hours or a particular visiting option being implied.
Further traces lie outside the settlement: southeast of Fragkades, the site of Paliomonastiros is mentioned with the ruins of an old monastery. In the wider area is also the Petsoni Bridge, a two-arched stone bridge preserved in the description from the year 1830 on the road between Leptokarya and Kipoi. A stay in Fragkades can thus be combined with exploring mountain scenery and regional architectural and local history, without attributing the mentioned destinations to the village itself.
