The capital is the city of Arta.
Main features:
Historically very rich: built on the remains of the ancient city of Ambracia (Amvrakia).
Known for the legendary Bridge of Arta (Γεφύρι της Άρτας), a medieval stone arch bridge with a famous folk song about human sacrifice.
Byzantine period: was the capital of the Despotate of Epirus, with beautiful churches such as Panagia Parigoritissa.
Nature: combination of mountains (Tzoumerka Mountains), the Arachthos River, and the nearby Amvrakikos Gulf (wetland with many birds, flamingos).
Little mass tourism → quiet, authentic area with nature, hiking, mountain villages, and fresh produce (oranges, livestock farming).
In short: a green, historic, and underrated region in Epirus, ideal for peace seekers and nature lovers.
