You’d be forgiven for thinking this was the Alps. It’s actually northern Greece in full autumn. 🍂 Deep in the Rhodope Mountains, the Virgin Forest of Frakto reveals a completely different side of Greece, steep ravines, waterfalls, dense forest and slopes painted in red, orange and gold. This is one of the country’s most remarkable protected forest landscapes, home to beech, spruce, birch and black pine, with brown bears, wolves and roe deer roaming the wider area. And in autumn? The whole landscape changes character. Wild, mountainous Greece in autumn at its most dramatic. 📍 Virgin Forest of Frakto, Drama, Northern Greece. Would this be the side of Greece you’d travel for in autumn? **** Access to the protected forest is controlled and generally requires permission, so always check the latest visitor information before planning your trip. 🫆 The original moment belongs to mikelapardas (IG) #autumningreece #northerngreece #fraktosforest
