Episode 6 - The Old Road

A few years back, the Egnatia motorway opened, linking North Western Greece with the rest of the country. And even though it drastically reduced journey times between Athens and Igoumenitsa, it also came at the detriment of the communities that lived on the old road. These people relied on drivers to take breaks, eat in their tavernas and buy their produce. I make a point to take the old road. It's a place from a bygone era and I would love to somehow get involved in regenerating its image. So today I'm meeting with two members of the community, to find out exactly what happened to this place and what the future holds. Welcome to a new episode of Epirus Falls called 'The Old Road'.
