Epirus. On the sandy shores of the endless Epirot coastline in Western Greece, from Preveza to Parga you will discover a secret paradise on earth. Visiting Politia you will experience the vision of harmony and balance, an ode to timeless beauty that unravels the cares of the soul. During your stay in Politia, take every opportunity to discover the wonderful Epirot unspoilt villages, which have been called ‘poetry in stone’ because of their exceptional architecture, like those in the Zagoria district, Metsovo, and Syrrako or Kalarrytes in the Tzoumerka range. Politia is located at Anexartisias 109, Ioannina, 45444, Greece and this is certainly an ideal location to explore Epirus, the most mountainous region in Greece, which is instead blessed with a lush and soaring landscape reminiscent of Scotland at its finest, mountain villages to rival (whisper it) the best of Provence, and that gloriously unspoilt Ionian Sea coastline. Come and be our guest at Politia and discover a densely forested landscape (home to brown bears, wolves and jackals), lonely clifftop monasteries, soul-stirring mountain vistas, low-key seaside resorts and skies patrolled by birds of prey including golden eagles. It’s easy to see why the Greeks have been keeping Epirus a secret from the world for so long.
