Epirus (Ipirus), in the north-west corner of Greece, is mostly mountainous. It borders Sterea Ellada to the south-east, Macedonia to the north-east, Albania to the north-west, and the Ionian sea and the Amvraic Gulf to the south-west.

Due to its alpine nature and the close proximity of its western and southern parts to the sea, the climate of Epirus is continental in the interior and mild in the coastal areas.

This part of Greece hosts dozens of large and small mountains, notably the Pindus range. The mountains give the impression that they are rising up out of the Ionian sea. Forests, wild vegetation, lagoons, rivers and wetlands provide sanctuary to thousands of birds.

Fabulous beaches and unforgettable verdant shores bathed in sunlight are washed by the turquoise Ionian.

Here in Epirus, life flows as quietly as the rivers. Here life is filled with the songs of the migratory birds and whispering of the leaves. Here the soul is resurrected in some picturesque village, some magical town.

Ioanina is built on the shores of lake Pamvotida. It is the largest and prettiest city in Epirus, with old buildings, narrow streets and natural charms. The area around the town has many attractions such as the village of Perama with the famous cave, Mouzakei with the wax museum, the island in the lake Pamvotida.

The springs of Louros and Zitsa are sources of fine mineral water. Arta is the second largest town in Epirus and is especially well known for its fabled bridge and the remaining Byzantine monuments in and around the town.

The entrance to the Amvrakic Gulf is guarded by Preveza and its port. The uniquely beautiful town is close to ancient Nikopolis (1st Century B.C.), Kassopi and Messopotamos.

Idyllic Parga has plenty of water to irrigate its fertile and verdant land.

Finally, Igoumenitsa is the exit-harbour from Epirus and the entrance harbour to the Ionian and its islands.
