This guide provides a concise presentation of this historical and geographical region of Epirus, also giving guidelines for a magical tour of the history and nature of the “land of the mountains”, about which the French traveller of the early-19th-century Fran?ois Pouqueville wrote that “the endless combination of ways that Divine Providence uses to achieve its purpose, here appear to be so wonderful that if we wanted to give Epirus a more fitting name we would have to call it the ‘miniature all climates’.”
