It is bordered by the prefectures of Kozani and Trikala to the east, Albania to the north, the prefecture of Thesprotia to the west and the prefectures of Arta and Preveza to the south. It has a total area of 4,990 km2 and a population of 158,193 inhabitants. Its greatest part is dominated by mountain ranges, parts of which belong to the Pindos spine. The Pindos range forms the border between Epirus, Macedonia and Thessaly. It starts with Mount Grammos ( 2,520 m ) on the border of Epirus with Western Macedonia and Albania . Further south is Mount Smolikas ( 2,637 m ), the second highest mountain in Greece . To the southeast, Mount Vasilitsa ( 2,249 m ) overlooks Macedonia . The range continues southward with Mount Gamila or Timfi ( 2,497 m ). Between Smolikas and Gamila, just above the city of Konitsa , Mount Trapezitsa ( 2,021 m ) is found. To the east of Gamila, a horseshoe-shaped group of mountains known as Lingos or Eastern Pindos ( 2,177 m ) is located, and south of Gamila, above the lake of Ioannina, stands Mount Mitsikeli ( 1,810 m ). The southern Pindos range includes Peristeri or Lakmos ( 2,295 m ), Kakarditsa ( 2,393 m ) and Tzoumerka ( 2,393 m ). A lower mountain, not belonging to the range is Tomaros or Olytsikas ( 1,816 m ). | |
