Tzoumerka, Greece: A Winter Destination of Magical Beauty (photos)

Stone villages, exceptional natural landscapes ideal for outdoor activities, and mouthwatering Epirot cuisine

Fir-topped paths, alpine landscapes, cool, crystalline waters that pour from stone fountains, cobbled old-fashioned squares and impressive waterfalls are just a few of the many reasons why we were so excited to visit Tzoumerka. We contacted Αvis through its website and found the right vehicle for our mountain drive in Epirus.

Fortunately, there was a great range of cars to choose from that don’t consume much fuel, something that’s very important nowadays especially if you’re going on a big trip. As we drove up the road towards Tzoumerka after a long and in some parts difficult drive, we approach Syrrakos, our final destination, feeling happy to finally be here.

The Kalarrytikos River “cuts” the land in two, while the autumnal sky blends harmoniously with nature. As we navigate the serpentine road, Syrrako, a village built at an altitude of 1,200 metres that seems to hang on the mountain slopes, keeps appearing and disappearing before our eyes.
