Konitsa is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful border areas not only in Epirus but in Greece on the whole. It is built on the slope of Trapezitsa Mountain in 630 m altitude. There are many assumptions about the origin of its name. The most dominant ones are the stance of the historian P. Aravantinos who claims that it comes from the name of the ancient city Knossos that gradually became Konitsa, as well as the stance that it comes from the Slavic word Konitza, which means "horse bazaar".
Konitsa is a city of 4.000 inhabitants built according to the traditional style of Epirotic architecture. You will admire the stone buildings, the old mansions that hold from the period of the Turkish Domination, the churches and the monasteries that are a true ornament for the area, the cobbled roads, the traditional stone bridges and the countless cultural monuments. It is the absolute harmonization of yesterday and today. On every step, you will think that you have gone back many years and historical figures will wander in the air but at the same time you will have the chance to see how much you can take doing extreme sports and many other modern activities. And all that blend in a spectacular way that will definitely impress you.
