Learn about one of the most incredible, less known, regions of Greece - Epirus, as I chat with Ioannis Smiris of Epirus Traveller. Located on the western mainland, above the Peloponnese, this region is packed full of some of the most amazing sites in Europe:

• Ioannina, the capital located on beautiful Lake Pamvotida
• Vikos Gorge - the deepest in the world!
• the 46 traditional villages of Zagori
• the Mythical Dragon Lakes of Drakolimnes
• the Acheron River - the Gates of Hades that lead to the underworlds and guarded by the Ferryman and Cerberus the 3-headed dog
• the Epirus Riviera with over 40 beaches, several stunning islands and the Greek 'Caribbean' area of Syvota 
• the Monasteries of Tsouka & Kipina - hundreds of years older than Meteora
• Nikopolis - the Roman Capital in Ancient times and a world UNESCO Heritage Site
• The Ambracian Gulf and Amvrakikos Wetlands - homes to thousands of rare migratory birds
