The rugged and mountainous region of Epirus lays on the west part of Greece. Although it is mainly covered with mountain peaks and dense forests, it has a few but stunning beaches facing the Ionian Sea. The region has a strong hold on tradition and nature. Epirus is the ideal place for outdoor sports and the hotel facilities here usually provide some features for nature lovers. Everything is a bit closer to their original shape and purpose in Epirus.

The region of Epirus has been inhabited since the Bronze Era and became known for the victorious fights of King Pyrrhus against Rome without therefore preventing the occupancy of the region of the Romans in the end. Epirus became part of the Kingdom of Philippe of Macedonia, Roman Empire, Byzantine Empire and after the fall of Constantinople in the Fourth Crusade, Epirus became an autonomous Despotate until the Ottoman conquest in 1479. The region gained some privileges because of Ali Pasha, a diplomatic but cruel ruler of Epirus. The southern part of Epirus joined Greece in 1881 but the rest was not recognized as part of Greece until the end of the Balkan Wars in 1914.

Epirus shares borders with the regions of Macedonia and Thessaly on the east, the southern region of Central Greece, west coast of the Ionian Sea and north of the State of Albania. It spans a total area of 9.450 sq. km. with a total population of 350.000 residents. Epirus is mainly mountainous with Pindos being the longest mount range in Greece. It comprises of the Prefectures of Arta, Ioannina, Thesprotia and Preveza.

The climate of Epirus is mainly Alpine because of the high mountain ranges of Pindos found in the region. The winters are cold and damp and the summers are warm and dry. The climate is milder on the lowlands and the areas close to the coastline.
