The geographical boundaries of the Municipality of Konitsa are dominated by the largest mountain masses in Greece, ravines, gorges, steep slopes, huge forests, rivers and lakes that make up a natural landscape of incomparable beauty as well as a rich flora and fauna. This represents a milestone as well as a challenge for Konitsa and our wider region, an ever-evolving tourist area. Ιts natural and cultural heritage, as well as the attraction exerted by our unspoiled natural landscape, is our motivation for planning a sustainable policy that promotes the development of “alternative ecotourism activities”.
