The region of Epirus with Epirus Traveller

  • Summary

  • Learn about one of the most incredible, less known, regions of Greece - Epirus, as I chat with Ioannis Smiris of Epirus Traveller. Located on the western mainland, above the Peloponnese, this region is packed full of some of the most amazing sites in Europe:

    • Ioannina, the capital located on beautiful Lake Pamvotida
    • Vikos Gorge - the deepest in the world!
    • the 46 traditional villages of Zagori
    • the Mythical Dragon Lakes of Drakolimnes
    • the Acheron River - the Gates of Hades that lead to the underworlds and guarded by the Ferryman and Cerberus the 3-headed dog
    • the Epirus Riviera with over 40 beaches, several stunning islands and the Greek 'Caribbean' area of Syvota
    • the Monasteries of Tsouka & Kipina - hundreds of years older than Meteora
    • Nikopolis - the Roman Capital in Ancient times and a world UNESCO Heritage Site
    • The Ambracian Gulf and Amvrakikos Wetlands - homes to thousands of rare migratory birds
