Dodona, Epirus, Greece
Dodona
The sanctuary is quieter than Delphi, stranger in its origins, and much easier to underestimate.

Ioannina, Epirus, Greece
Notes from Ioannina
A castle that is still a neighbourhood, a lake with a dark legend, and a museum full of the questions people once asked Zeus.

Parga, Epirus, Greece
A day in Parga
A Venetian outpost on an Ottoman coast, handed over in 1819, and a town that burned its ancestors' bones rather than leave them behind.
