Epirus Attractions
|
|
Epirus (i.e. the "Mainland", as opposed to the offshore islands) covers an area of 9,200 sq. km/3,550 sq. mi in northwestern Greece, between the Albanian frontier and the Ambracian Gulf and between the Ionian Sea and the Pindos mountains. Historically the territory of Epirus extended into southern Albania.
Epirus is a hilly region with an abundance of rain, which favors the development of agriculture and particularly of stock-farming. In ancient times it was regarded as a rather backward area; but the nekromanteion (oracle of the dead) on the river Acheloos was known to Homer, and the oracle of Zeus at Dodona was widely famed.
