If you have never been to a Greek Island - you have never seen turquoise blue ...
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.
From Ioanina one climbs up to Metsovo, the beautiful mountain village known for its embroidery
and dairy products. Continuing north one comes to the Vikos Gorge. Here, amidst incredible mountain scenery are 46 villages known as the Zagorhoria. In the varied vegetation one encounters picturesque churches, old mansions, bridges, waterfalls and traditional settlements.
