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
and much more!
