Discover Igoumenitsa by Hire Car
Igoumenitsa belongs to the circle of inconspicuous pearls of Greek coastal towns.
Situated at the other end of a sea-like bay on the west coast of Greece, it draws attention as a port town with beautiful beaches.
In the immediate vicinity are the islands of Corfu, Paxos and Antipaxos, already significant in ancient times. In the hinterland of Igoumenitsa, the lowland of the coast passes quite quickly into rocky and leafy mountain ranges.
Sights in Igoumenitsa
From a small fishing village under Ottoman rule in the early 20th century, Igoumenitsa has come under Greek sovereignty and was rebuilt as a city after being destroyed by World War 2.
In Igoumenitsa, the cultural association P.O.D.I. represents Greek customs and traditions with year-round events. So far, the ruins of a Turkish castle prove to be a sight to see. To enjoy these impressions are best in the local taverns, where you can even dance on tables among friends with busuki music.
Infrastructure of Igoumenitsa
Due to a pending airport or rail connection, Igoumenitsa is not yet overcrowded and thus retains an individual character.
Nevertheless, via its ports and ferry services, there are widespread ferry connections to neighbouring islands and Italy, frequented by several million travellers.
Connected to the Greek road network, charismatic small towns, coasts, historical sites or scenic landscapes can be reached from Igoumenitsa via the national highway and local rural roads by bus or hire car.
