Epiros


Next to Konitsa's grand 1871 bridge over the Aoös, this family-run hotel is a drive from the centre of Konitsa and, because it's in the valley, lacks dramatic views. It compensates with comfort and amenities: wood-panelled rooms with Coco-Mat beds, a restaurant, a playground and an outdoor pool (open in summer). Superior rooms (an extra €10) have fireplaces.
