Information about Igoumenitsa

Igoumenitsa is a nice coastal town and the main town of the Prefecture of Thesprotia as well. It numbers 15.000 inhabitants and is 480 km from Athens and 360 km from Thessaloniki. Its huge harbour is well protected and is a communication hub between the ports of Greece and the ports in Adriatica.

Until 1936, when it was set the main town of the Prefecture, Igoumenitsa was a small coastal village. In 1944 the town was destroyed to the ground by the retreating German troops and was built again. The port was constructed in the 60s and the coastal link with Italy was established. This was the driving force for the development of the town.

The beauty of the town, the combination of mountain and sea bewitch the visitor. The long beaches of Drepanos and Makrigialos of 7 km total length rest the locals and the travellers in their clean waters.
