Learn about one of the most incredible, less known, regions of Greece - Epirus, as I chat with Ioannis Smiris of Epirus Traveller. Located on the western mainland, above the Peloponnese, this region is packed full of some of the most amazing sites in Europe:

• Ioannina, the capital located on beautiful Lake Pamvotida
• Vikos Gorge - the deepest in the world!
• the 46 traditional villages of Zagori
• the Mythical Dragon Lakes of Drakolimnes
• the Acheron River - the Gates of Hades that lead to the underworlds and guarded by the Ferryman and Cerberus the 3-headed dog
• the Epirus Riviera with over 40 beaches, several stunning islands and the Greek 'Caribbean' area of Syvota
• the Monasteries of Tsouka & Kipina - hundreds of years older than Meteora
• Nikopolis - the Roman Capital in Ancient times and a world UNESCO Heritage Site
• The Ambracian Gulf and Amvrakikos Wetlands - homes to thousands of rare migratory birds

Welcome back to my chat with Archaeologist Ilona Bartsch as we complete our three part series about her amazing trip to Greece. This time Ilona ventures to the islands. First up is Mykonos, mostly to visit the sacred island of Delos, before moving on to Santorini, Crete, Rhodes and Naxos. We discuss the many, many incredible wonders on these islands including a number of places steeped in Mythology, the construction of ancient cities and what life was like for these ancient civilizations as well as some modern history too. You can find destination guides for all of these places on the website as well specific guides to Delos, Akrotiri, Lindos  and more.
