The region of Epirus with Epirus Traveller

Listen Later

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!
