Holidays to Epirus and Zagori

Overview

Introduction

Epirus occupies Greece’s north-western corner and is spectacularly beautiful. Largely mountainous, with three peaks of 2500m plus, it is (once away from the coast) one of Greece’s most remote regions, and centuries-old traditions, fast-vanishing in many other areas, still lourish here.

The Epirot coast is featured elsewhere on our site, in the form of Parga and Sivota. But the heart of this fascinating area is inland. Here are the mighty peaks of the Pindos, forests, rivers, lakes, gorges, meadows, preserved stone villages, some 1700 species of flora, and a wildlife which includes wolves and bears. The Vlach shepherds in the high Pindos still speak a form of Latin. The Zagoria National Park epitomises all that is best of the region, as recognised by its recent inclusion on the UNESCO World Heritage list.

The capital of the region is the high lakeside town of Ioannina. Under Ottoman rule until less than a century ago, it has retained a flavour of the east. Above Ioannina, the large village of Metsovo straddles the mountain pass between Epirus and Thessaly, en route to the Meteora. You could be in the Alps here, and is a good place to buy mountain herbs and honey.

This unusual and little-known area is one of Greece's best kept secrets and can, with a car, be easily combined with a holiday in Parga, Sivota or Lefkas or as part of a Hidden Greece fly-drive.

It is a 2-3 hour drive from your resort area by the sea to the Zagoria national park. We can prebook a small mountain village hotel for a few nights during your main holiday.

Claire joined us in 2005 after having spent 6 years in Lesbos running her own business teaching English, where she married a Greek. The economic crisis in Greece forced them to return to the UK. Alongside day to day reservations, Claire is also mother goose to our 30 or so overseas representatives in Greece and works very closely with Graeme, our overseas manager in Greece, to arrange for their interviewing and training. Understandably she loves Alonissos.
