http://www.accommodationgreekislands.com Capital: Igoumenitsa Population: 46.091 (census 2001) Distance from Athens: 576 km. Also the mainer regions are: Igoumenitsa, Souli, Sivota. The prefecture of Thesprotia is one of the four prefectures in the periphery of Epirus. It is characterized by picturesque mountainous regions as well as beautiful seaside areas. It is situated on the NW end of Epirus by the Albanian borders and it is bathed by the Ionian sea.

The seat of the prefecture is the city of Igoumenitsa, called "the gate of Greece to Western Europe" due to its important port. The prefecture also includes some important towns, which are the commercial and administrative centers of their surrounding areas. Some of them are Sivota, Perdika, Paramythia, Filiates, Sagiada, Plataria, Souli etc.

The impressive feature of the prefecture is the enchanting shoreline from Sagiada up to the mouth of Acheron river. Beaches with turquoise waters, golden sand or white pebbles, quiet bays surrounded by green landscapes and small picturesque ports.

Thesprotia is certainly a place worth visiting to enjoy the beauty nature has endowed it with.

The city of Igoumenitsa is a cosmopolitan city, built by the sea in the northern part of the prefecture, opposite Corfu. It is the seat of the prefecture of Thesprotia, situated 480 km from Athens and 470 km from Thessalonica. Its large port is a hub for the sea communication with many ports in Greece and the Adriatic sea. It is an important sea gate to Western Europe. Igoumenitsa is linked by ferry service to Paxi islands, the island of Corfu, Patras and Italian ports such as Bari, Brindisi, Venice and Ancona.

The combination of mountain and sea, the charms of the city and the endless golden-white beaches can enchant every visitor. The long clear-water beaches of Drepano and Makrigialos, 7 km long, offer tranquility, rest, good food and an ideal vacation for all visitors. In the last years these two beaches are awarded with the Blue Flag eco-label. Sivota, is a picturesque, seaside village just 24 km south of Igoumenitsa, known as the cosmopolitan summer destination of the area. Sivota is known from the ancient times, as history ties the small islands in the Sivota bay with what Thucydides mentioned as "Sivota Islands", among which the sea battle between Corfu and Corinth navies took place in 433 B.C., during the Peloponnesian war. During the Turkish occupation, the village was called Mourto, while the name Sivota was adopted in 1959.
