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!
