Amidst the eagles’ nests of Epirus

Amidst the rugged peaks of Pindus lies the Tzoumerka, or Athamanika, mountain range. Scattered across the mountains are 47 villages, known as the Tzoumerkochoria.
In this mountainous region, nestled between the Arachthos river to the west and the Acheloos river to the east, the untamed natural beauty of the mountains, the abundant waters, the charm of the stone-carved hamlets, and, above all, the warm-hearted locals and rich local traditions, all promise enchanting experiences. You will also encounter significant monuments, such as stone bridges and monasteries hidden amongst the rocks. Man-made lakes, caves, imposing gorges, and bare, rugged peaks will be etched into your memories. 
From Vourgareli, Athamanio and Theodoriana, the “fir-kissed” villages of Tzoumerka, to Kypseli, Katarraktis, Plaka with its famous bridge, the amphitheatrically built villages of Agnanta, Raftanei, Christades, the bustling Pramanda with its renowned BBQ restaurants, and finally the twin, stately villages of Syrrako and Kalarrytes, the landscape is filled with breathtaking vistas. 
The Tzoumerka region appeals mainly to nature lovers and those seeking travel on untamed trails and adventure in nature. With the gentle sounds of running water, the melodic birdsong of nightingales, and the chiming of sheep bells as your only soundtrack, and with the stately mountain peaks, the deep blue sky, and the snow-white landscape of winter as your view, the Tzoumerka mountains will leave an indelible mark on your soul.
