It is located only a few kilometers from the Vikos Gorge and near one of the best vantage points, Beloe (Beloi) (perhaps a Slavic word meaning "good view" or "balcony").

Until the close of the 20th century there was only one way to reach the village, via a kalderimi (paved mule road) called the Skala of Vradeto (Greek: Σκάλα Βραδέτου) a stairway of about 1,000 steps built on the side of a canyon and almost impossible to seem from a distance.

Vradeto's difficulty of access probably explains its location in the inhospitable highlands near the top of Mt Tymphe.

The main church, dedicated to the Birth of Mary (Greek: Ναός Γεννήσεως της Θεοτόκου) was built in 1799 with a donation from Nikolaos Tsigaras.
