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!
