Template:Infobox Town GR Konitsa (Greek: Κόνιτσα) is a town in Epirus, Greece, near the Albanian border. It lies amphi-theatre shaped on a mountain slope of the Pindos mountain range, overlooking the valley where the river Aoos meets the river Voidomatis. The valley is used for farming. Konitsa is a regional centre for many small Pindos villages, and there are shops, schools and a hospital. It is a good starting point for tourists who want to explore the Pindos mountains, or who want to go rafting in the river Aoos or parapenting. Other places of interest nearby are:
- The Vikos-Aoos National Park, including the spectacular Vikos gorge, the Aoos gorge and the Timfi mountains. It is where Vikos spring water is made;
- Mount Smolikas (2637 m), Greece's second highest mountain;
- The sulfur baths of Kavasila;
- Zagoria, a collection of small mountain villages;
- The nearest city is Ioannina.
