Tymfi
Tymfi or Mt Tymphe, Timfi, also Tymphi (Greek: Τύμφη (:ˈtimfi)) is a mountain in the northern Pindus mountain range, northwestern Greece. It is part of the regional unit of Ioannina and lies in the region of Zagori, just a few metres south of the 40° parallel. Tymfi forms a massif with its highest peak, Gamila, at , being the sixth highest in Greece.
The massif of Tymfi includes in its southern part the Vikos Gorge, while they both form part of the Vikos–Aoös National Park which accepts over 100,000 visitors per year.〔Papadopoulou 2008, p. 20〕 The former municipality of the same name owed its name to the mountain. It also gave its name to the ancient land known as Tymphaea and to the Tymphaeans, one of the tribes in Ancient Epirus.
==Etymology==
Tymfi is tranlitareted in similar forms: Tymphe, Timfi, also Tymphi. The name "Tymphe" or "Stymphe" is mentioned by ancient geographer Strabo and it gave its name to the district of Tymphaea and the ancient tribe that inhabited it. The etymology of the peaks are mainly of Greek origin. The highest peak "Gamila" derives from the Greek word for "camel". "Megala Litharia" stands for "Big rocks" and "Karteros" for "mighty, powerful". The word "Astraka" means "gutter" and its origins can be either Greek or Slavic.〔 (in Greek)〕 A notable exception is the peak of "Tsouka Rossa" which is in Aromanian and stands for "red peak".
