EPIRUS - THE LAND OF MYTHS & LEGENDS

The natural beauty and cultural heritage of Greece have lured travelers through the ages. Yet there is still enough uncharted territory to attract even the most sophisticated visitor. If you thought Greece was only the Acropolis, clear blue waters and islands with white-washed houses in the Mediterranean, you are in for a surprise!

Away from the crowds, lost in time, discover the splendors of inland Greece and learn what this breathtaking country and its people are really about, in the Region of Epirus.

Visit the historic city of Ioannina, its ancient castle and the island in Lake Pamvotis, where the legendary Ali Pasha was beheaded.

Long before Delphi, the famous Oracle advised from Dodoni, today a well-preserved archaeological site just 20 Km outside of Ioannina, where performances take place in the ancient theatre.

Explore the sparsely populated mountainous settlements of Zagori, built during the 16th century and spend a weekend in a stone-carved inn. Rekindle your spirit of adventure on a hike through the Pindos Mountains or rafting in the rivers of Voidomatis or Arachthos. The Vikos Gorge (Greece’s Grand Canyon) will take your breath away.

In the summertime, relax on the sandy beaches of the Ionian, surf, water-ski, sail or just enjoy the Greek hospitality of the seaside towns of Parga and Preveza.
