The region of Konitsa is located at the point where 3 rivers meet: Sarantaporos, Aoos and Voidomatis. It is surrounded by solid mountains with rich flora and fauna. Canyons and imposing gorges, mountain lakes and alpine meadows, dense oak and beech forests, gigantic planes on the banks of the rivers, national parks and protected habitats for birds and mammals, as well as environmental parks, all make up a diverse and mesmerizing landscape. In antiquity, Konitsa was the centre of the Molossian kingdom, while it experienced its largest growth during the time of the Ottoman rule. From the famous Mastorochoria of the region, we have the "craftsmen" of stone, timber and of popular paintings. These crafts were developed and taught beyond the borders of Greece. Bridges, temples, monasteries, mansions, traditional settlements, residential complexes of the Ottoman period, bear witness to the long and important historical course of Konitsa.
