The center of Konitsa.

Konitsa (Greek: Κόνιτσα) or (Aromanian: Conita) 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;
  • Zagori, a group of small mountain villages;
  • The nearest city is Ioannina.
