Voices from Thesprotia
locals, travelers, and everyone who fell for this place
A place reveals itself through the people who speak about it. Some were born here and know every hidden road, every changing season, every quiet corner by the sea. Others arrived as visitors and left carrying a story with them.
In Stories, we meet the people connected to Thesprotia, Igoumenitsa and Sivota — photographers, winemakers, travelers, makers and locals who see this place in their own unique way. We listen, we slow down, and we share their stories the way they trusted us to tell them.
This is not a guide about beaches or itineraries. It’s a collection of voices, memories and perspectives — the human side of a place that stays with people long after they leave.

Από το Danza στο Sweathearts: Η Ιστορία της Ελίζας Παπαβασιλείου
Για σχεδόν 20 χρόνια, η Ελίζα Παπαβασιλείου εμπνέει μικρούς και μεγάλους στην Ηγουμενίτσα μέσα από τον χορό, την άσκηση και τη δημιουργική έκφραση. Με αφορμή τη μετάβαση του Danza Body & Mind στο νέο του κεφάλαιο ως Sweathearts, γνωρίζουμε την ιστορία πίσω από μία από τις πιο διαχρονικές σχολές της πόλης.
