about Igoumenitsa

Igoumenitsa (Greek: Ηγουμενίτσα) is a coastal city in northwestern Greece. It is the capital of the prefecture Thesprotia.

Igoumenitsa is a picturesque small town with lots of green, beaches with crystal clear blue waters, and green mountains surrounding the town. The new 670 km Egnatia Highway, which serves Northern Greece, terminates at Igoumenitsa.

In ancient times Igoumenitsa was known as Titani, (Gitani, Gitana, Goumani) and was one of the most important towns of the kingdom of Thesprotis during the 4th century BC, covering 28 hectares.

 The circumference of its walls was 2,400 metres. The walls had four gates. Internal walls, in the shape of a sickle, divided the city in half.

 Its most noteworthy tower, located at the top of the hill, was round, and is thought to have been a religious sanctuary. Excavations have revealed a theatre which seats 2,500 and ruins of two temples.

The city was a meeting place of the Epirote League .A spur near Philiates between the Kalamas River, the acropolis had a fine semicircular tower, a small theater, towers, and gateways which are still visible.

 The Kalamas may have been navigable to this point. The city was destroyed by the Romans in 167 BC and later on it was annexed into the Roman Empire.
