The Route
No trip is just a trip. They are images, sounds, tastes, scents, in different combinations, with a different intensity and message for each one, depending on the time of year, depending on the traveler, companionship or solitude, the mood for adventure or introspection, exploration, discovery or relaxation. Each trip is many trips together and each one is unique.
The “Theatres of Epirus” is a cultural route that promises many journeys together, in space, in time, in the world of the five senses. Five archaeological sites, and their Theatres, are the central stations, the starting bases for everyone to collect and synthesize the experiences that inspire and interest him. Everything is here: charming monuments and archaeological sites with an extremely interesting history, architectural, artisanal and also taste samples of an ancient distinct tradition, the incredible nature of Epirus.

Together with the market, it was a trademark of the city-state, of its public life, since citizens gathered there to watch theatrical performances, events connected to religion, intended not simply to entertain but to teach.
