Most tourists arriving in this part of Greece integrate their visit with several other locations, putting together an appealing itinerary. Generally, tourists land in the Greek capital, Athens, and head north to Epirus by taking the Corinth Canal and the strings bridge known as Rion Antirion. That brings them to the Epirus province from the south, via Tsumerka, Amrakikos, and / or the city of Arta. Then they progress towards the Zagori villages, Konitsa, Metsovo and the rest of that area. Other visitors prefer reaching Thessaloniki, some 3 hours’ drive from Epirus, and then making their way to Epirus, sometimes integrating the Edessa waterfalls along the way, or visiting Meteora, a slight deviation off the road to Epirus.

Shortcutting the journey with a flight direct to Ioannina, the capital city of Epirus, is also an option. It lets you start out in Epirus without needing to travel from Thessaloniki or Athens. Another possibility when coming from certain countries is to take a direct flight into Ioannina or to the Aktion airport adjacent to the city of Preveza in southern Epirus: Preveza is also a great place for starting your tour. Epirus can also be reached by boat from one of Italy’s cities such as Ancona, Bari or Brindisi. Boats sail this line all the way to Igumenitsa, where you can rent a car and start your trip in Epirus.
