Episode 11 - Wildlife

Last year, I spoke with chef Thanasis Tassos about his restaurant Thamon in Ioannina. He suggested we took a trip to the town of Konitsa near the Albanian border, where his family run an environmental park, hotel and restaurant. When we arrived, we were shown around by his uncle Giorgos Tassos. Giorgos has dedicated his life to the unique flora and fauna of the area and brings new people to the region to explore its rich biodiversity.

In this new episode of Epirus Falls, Giorgos talks to us about the history of the region, his love of wildlife and his hopes for a bloom in tourism once the new section of motorway linking Italy with Greece through the Balkans is finally completed.
