What to expect
The bridge of "Noutsos" or "Kokoris" is located near the village of Koukouli, on the river of Voidomatis. Built in the 16th century.
In 1814 the monk of the monastery of Prophet Elias built this stone bridge. In 1865 Alexios and Andreas Plakidas repaired it radically.
Kapesovo
The village "Kapesovo" is wonderful and traditional, with few residents, but many beauties. Next to the village "Vradeto", there is "Vradeto steps", one of the most beautiful stone made steps of the area.
Tsepelovo
Mountain settlement on the south side of Kazama peak of Mount Tymfi. In this village there was a school from 1700, when there were very few schools in Zagori region.
Σαρακατσάνικη Στάνη
Σε έκταση περίπου 20 στρεμμάτων δάσους, από έλατα και πεύκα, κατασκευάστηκε ένα σύμπλεγμα που προσπαθεί να αποδώσει όσο γίνεται πιο πιστά το περιβάλλον της σαρακατσάνικης ζωής.
kataraktes sto Iliohori
From the village of Iliochori we will go to the waterfall Balta di Striιga
In the southwest point of Konitsa, right at the entrance of the valley of "Aoos", is the large bridge of Konitsa, which was built in 1870-71 by a workshop of 50 craftsmen. The bridge was built with donations from the city's inhabitants. In the same location was previously constructed, in 1823, a wooden bridge, but which was destroyed. Today's stone bridge has dimensions of 36 meters opening and 20 meters high.
Kipina Monastery in Kalarites, Tzoumerka, is one of the most impressive monasteries in Greece. The small church made of wood and stone, built inside a rock, will leave you speechless. The monastery was built in about 1212. The car road reaches the base of the cliff and then, if you want to go to the monastery, you must follow a path carved into the rock and a wooden bridge.
Famous tailors, builders, merchants, stone craftsmen and silversmiths, come from "Kalarites", which with "Syrrako" are traditional settlements and tourist resorts of the mountainous "Tzoumerka". The natural beauty is amazing.
Pramanta
The settlement, built at an altitude of 840m. amphitheatrically at the foot of the mountain "Strogoula" (2,107 m), perhaps the most imposing peak of Tzoumerka. The 500-year-old plane tree and the historic fountain "Arapis" dominate the main square, next to the main church of Agia Paraskevi
Cave “Anemotripa” of Pramanta was discovered in 1960. A small slot in the rocks, from where cool air emerged initiated the exploration of the inner part of the rocks, and thus the discovery of the cave. It was given the name “Anemotripa”. It is the only cave in Greece penetrated by river. This results in cave’s self-purifying without any human intervention, making the visit there really enjoyable.
Frasta
Plakas bridge built in 1866, it was considered the largest single-arched bridge in the Balkans, with an opening chamber of 40 meters, a height of 19 meters and an opening at the top of 3.2 meters. From 1881 to 1913 the bridge was a border between the Greek and Turkish states.
Theodoros Papagiannis Musem of Contemporary Art
Its uniqueness consists in the fact that it includes works which speak of our home, Epirus, and its history - about what has brought it glory and made it respected by every Greek who hears its name. It is unique because it speaks about bread, the benefactor, the one who is exiled from his homeland, the man of the spirit and intellect, the Epirot craftsman, the shepherd, the farmer, the long-suffering Epirot mother - and about learning.
Parga Municipality
Summer in Epirus has two options of relaxing and fun. You can choose the traditional way down the Ionian Pelago coasts at Parga.
Syvota
Discover countless beaches on this magical place. Find small, isolated, almost hidden bays, where you will be alone with the sun, the sand and the sea.
The experience can be subject to change due to bad weather or unforseen circumstances. We always endeavour to give you the best possible experience.
