Epirus Region, Administrative region in northwestern Greece.
Epirus extends from the Pindus Mountains to the Ionian Sea, encompassing deep valleys, dense forests, and four distinct regional units across 9,200 square kilometers.
The region changed hands between ancient Greek tribes, Romans, Byzantines, and Ottomans before becoming part of modern Greece through the Balkan Wars in the early 1900s.
Traditional music performances with clarinet and polyphonic singing remain central elements of regional festivities and social gatherings throughout Epirus villages.
The capital city of Ioannina serves as the main transportation hub, connecting the regional units through a network of mountain roads and highways.
Local shepherds maintain centuries-old practices of transhumance, moving their flocks between mountain pastures and lowland grazing areas according to seasonal patterns.
