It stretches from the border with Albania in the north, to Preveza in the south and Ioannina in the east. Epirus is the greenest region in Greece due to a higher average of rainfall.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">When you go around in Epirus, you\u2019ll not only see the magnificent landscapes with mountains, valleys, rivers, and various types of flora, but you\u2019ll also see countless olive groves and fields with for example corn or fruit trees. Furthermore, there is lots of wildlife to be found, like several types of birds, butterflies and other insects, reptiles, and even wild horses. You\u2019ll also find many beehives around.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The western side of Epirus is bordered by the Ionian sea and has a beautiful coastline with several beaches.
