Episode 8 - The House

A few years ago, I started to think about relocating to Northern Greece. I had rented a property in Athens for 7 years but knew it was time for a change. Prices in the city were going up, its popularity had begun to put pressure on services and the city felt stressed. Epirus became my escape. What was Epirus giving me that Athens wasn't? In the words of local architect Thanasis Stergioulis, "Space, time to think, time to breathe. Space to breathe. Time just passes differently here." I met Thanasis around 5 years ago to help me find and renovate a property and we researched places ranging from the city of Ioannina to the villages of Papingo and Greveniti. It has been a long and fascinating road and we have finally identified that village...which is Tristeno. I wanted to make an episode of Epirus Falls to discuss the journey we've been on together, explain the history of the villages we researched and hopefully help others thinking of investing in property in the region. Welcome to a new episode of Epirus Falls called 'The House.'
