Zagorochoria - North Pindos National Park has been part of the Tentative list of Greece.

Zagorochoria - North Pindos National Park is a mountain region in north-western Greece near the Albanian border. Most of the villages were founded in the 15th century and are examples of vernacular stone architecture adapted to the conditions of a mountain region. The natural environment, especially North Pindos, is characterized by steep gorges and dense forests, including areas with ancient beech forests. Pindus National Park is also home to rare and endangered animal species, including a population of brown bears.
