discover the beauty of Thesprotia

Thesprotia, home of Pyrrhus

With its history that dates back to Mythology, its towering mountains and pristine beaches, Thesprotia has a lot to offer to its visitors.

Long time the area laid off the beaten track. The closing of the Balkan-rout led to a neu development in traffic witch made Igoumenitsa a european crossroad. A new fleet of high-speed-ferries is now connecting Italy with Patras, Corfu and the brandnew port of Igoumenitsa witch is as well the beginning of the european-project 'Egnatia Odos' a motorway witch will end one day at the turkish border. Late in 2004 another stretch of 24 km between Igoumenitsa and Paramythia was opened to the public (<10 to).
