BEFORE YOU GO
A well-planned trip.
Getting around
Konitsa’s center is easy to explore on foot, but having a car is useful for reaching the villages and trails in the area. The mountain roads are winding, and travel times can be longer than expected. Buses run from Ioannina, but services may be limited: check the latest schedules before you leave. In winter, check road conditions, as snow and ice can make travel difficult. To explore the surroundings, also inquire about trail conditions.
When to go
Spring and the beginning of autumn are ideal times to walk and enjoy the mountain scenery, with generally milder temperatures. In summer, the days can be hot, while in the evening the mountain air tends to cool down. Winter offers a striking atmosphere, but it can bring cold weather and demanding road conditions. Before setting out on a hike, always check the forecast.
Where to eat
In the tavernas of Konitsa, you can try traditional dishes from Epirus, such as classic savory pies, often made with cheese or vegetables, and grilled meats. Menus may also include legumes, local cheeses, and seasonal home-style recipes. Ask about the daily specials and, during quieter periods, check the opening hours of the restaurants in advance.
