The area played a role during the 1940 war when it became a location of military operations. This event is connected to Greece's defense against an invasion.
The area preserves traditional Greek villages where you can see local building styles and how people live in the Epirus region. These settlements show how families have lived here for generations and built their homes.
The area is accessible via National Road 20, which connects to larger cities, and via Road 22 toward the nearest border crossing. Visitors should expect that the mountainous terrain can make travel times longer.
The area serves as the administrative center for a larger municipal unit that manages multiple mountain communities in the region. This administrative role makes it an important local hub even though it now consists only of small villages.
