Epirus Greece

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.
