Epirus: the other Greece
Mountains, lakes and the Ionian coast in north-west Greece. A region with year-round demand and far fewer quality properties than Athens or the islands. In 2024 Epirus received about 2.1 million international visitors, 20% more than a year earlier.
A university city with demand all year round
Ioannina is the capital of Epirus and home to the University of Ioannina. International companies such as TeamViewer, PwC and Deloitte run technology centres in the city. Students, university staff and professionals need good housing in every season, not only in summer.
Stone villages on the UNESCO World Heritage List
The Zagori Cultural Landscape was added to the UNESCO World Heritage List in 2023. It includes more than 40 traditional stone villages, the Vikos Gorge and the Pindus mountains. Visitors come for hiking and nature from spring to autumn, and for the nearby ski resorts in winter.
Clear water and a yachting base
Sivota and Parga sit on the Ionian coast, close to Corfu, Paxos and Lefkada. Waterfront land here is limited by geography.
Connected to Italy and the rest of Greece
Igoumenitsa is the main ferry port between Greece and Italy. In 2023 the Grimaldi Group acquired a 67% stake in the port authority.
Airports: Ioannina and Aktion (Preveza) receive domestic and seasonal international flights.
Motorways: Egnatia Odos links Epirus with Thessaloniki; Ionia Odos runs south towards Athens.
