About Epirus

Most visitors to the Epirus region of northwestern Greece are Greek themselves, venturing into the rugged mountains of the interior for hiking, biking and birdwatching. However the region is gradually becoming better known by international travellers seeking to step off the beaten track. Understated and welcoming, our selection of the best places to stay in Epirus are scattered between the mountains and the sea, perfect for a memorable holiday with outdoorsy adventures and coastal charm aplenty.

Bordering verdant Albania to the north, and the Ionian Sea to the west, Epirus is a land of dramatic scenery. The ridges of the Dinaric Alps and the Pindus Mountains are criss-crossed with trails for horse riders, hikers and mountain bikers alike, with the Vikos-Aoos and Pindus National Parks attracting birdwatchers and botanists, too. Brown bears, wolves and jackals inhabit dense, ancient forests, whilst golden eagles soar in brilliant blue skies. Take guided walking tours, or head out on your own to explore a fascinating part of Europe without the crowds.

Down towards the coast, you’ll find the pretty port town of Parga, which is wonderful for food, culture and beach-focused holidays. If you have time to combine a mountain adventure with a few days of rest and relaxation by the sea, then even better! The best places to stay in Epirus include chic seaside hotels as well as remote mountain retreats with crackling fireplaces and hearty regional cuisine.
