The Municipality of Northern Tzoumerka belongs to the Region of Epirus and was established in 2011 from the merger of the municipalities of Katsanochoria, Pramanta, Tzoumerka and the communities of Vathypedo, Matsouki, Kalarrites, Syrrako. Tzoumerka breaks down to two municipalities, one of which is in the Prefecture of Arta and the other in the Prefecture of Ioannina. More specifically, the Municipality of North Tzoumerka and its headquarters in Pramanta are located in the Prefecture of Ioannina, spreading over 23 villages in an area of 200,000 acres. Pramanta, built amphitheatrically on the slopes of Strongoula peak, has always been the administrative and economic center of the entire surrounding area and is a town rich in tradition and history. The Municipality of North Tzoumerka covers a mostly mountainous area of natural beauty. It extends from the borders of the Ioannina basin to the ridges of Tzoumerka and Peristeri and is crossed by the Kalarritikos and Arachthos rivers. The place is rich in history, tradition and culture and its economy is based on both the primary sector and tourism activities. The villages of Northern Tzoumerka are in Central Pindos, between two rivers, Arachthos and Aspropotamos (Achelous). Tzoumerka is the natural border between Epirus and Thessaly, while it is also known as the Athamanika Mountains. Katsanochoria, at the foot of the Athamanika Mountains, is the access to the center of Epirus, Ioannina. The name Tzoumerka is said to be of Vlach origin, as “jum” in Vlach means “steep peak”. The name Athamanika Mountains is due to the king of Orchomenos of Boeotia, Athamas. He fled here, to these parts, pursued by his citizens. The inhabitants of the area proclaimed him their king. Athamas united all the settlements in the area and created the kingdom of the Athamans. The most important cities of Ancient Athamania were Argothea, which was also the capital, Theodoria and Avatos. They worshiped as gods Zeus, Apollo, Athena, Artemis, Aeolus and Arachthos, deified as heroes. Athamane coins at this time bore depictions of Dione and Athena holding a glaucus. The first citadels and phryctorias were erected at key points of the entrances from Thessaly and southern Epirus as well as from the North. Hellenistic fortresses (end of the 3rd to beginning of the 2nd century BC) in Kalentzi, Plaka, Kalarrites, Chouliarades, Pramanta, controlling the river Arachthos and the ravines of its tributaries, which are channels of communication with Thessaly. In its current geographical form, the wider area of Pramanta, including the settlements of Christoi, Tsopelas, Agia Triada, Dounavos, Kommatakia, Fraxos, Tourka, as well as other smaller settlements, is believed to have developed in the middle of the 15th century. During the years of the Greek War of Independence, major military operations took place in the region between the Sultanate forces and the Greek revolutionaries. In July 1821, the hordes of Hursit Pasha, having already destroyed Syrrako and Kalarrites, burned Pramanta. The answer was not long in coming. From the ridges of Strongoula, where they had taken refuge for protection, men and women of Pramanta, led by Gogos Bakolas, marched into the village and, after a fierce battle, drove out the conquerors. To avoid reprisals, several families fled to Aetoloakarnania, Evrytania, Arta and Peloponnese.

Το νησί της Ίου είναι στενά συνδεδεμένο με την παιδική μου ηλικία. Έχοντας καταγωγή από αυτό (από την πλευρά της μητέρας μου), το επισκέπτομαι κάθε καλοκαίρι από τότε που μπορώ να θυμηθώ τον εαυτό μου. Οι παππούδες και οι υπόλοιποι συγγενείς μου κατοικούν στο νησί και ασχολούνται με διάφορα τουριστικά επαγγέλματα Η αγάπη μου προς αυτούς και ιδιαίτερα προς τη γιαγιά μου, η οποία απεβίωσε πριν μερικά χρόνια, αποτελούσε τη σειρήνα που με έλκυε κάθε καλοκαίρι στο νησί, ανεξάρτητα από τις υποχρεώσεις μου. Τη θέση της γιαγιάς μου, πήρε η σύζυγος μου, την οποία γνώρισα σε ένα από τα ταξίδια μου στο νησί και έκτοτε εξακολουθώ να το επισκέπτομαι ακόμα πιο τακτικά. Δεδομένου ότι ποτέ δεν υπήρξα ιδιαίτερα εξωστρεφής, το είδος του τουρισμού που πρόβαλε το νησί (τουρισμός διασκέδασης), ποτέ δεν με έλκυε. Αντιθέτως, αυτό που με μάγευε, ίσως και λόγω του επαγγέλματος μου (Αξιωματικός των Ειδικών Δυνάμεων) ήταν η εξερεύνηση και ο αθλητισμός (τρέξιμο, περπάτημα, κολύμπι, περιηγήσεις σε διάφορες περιοχές κτλ). Θα μπορούσα ίσως να πω ότι κυριολεκτικά έχω περπατήσει όλο το νησί, τα τελευταία χρόνια παρέα με τη σύζυγο μου. Βλέπετε, άλλου έχω πάρει το όνομα και άλλου τη χάρη. Ο παππούς μου ο Γιάννης, βοσκός στα νιάτα του και σήμερα 82 ετών, έχει περπατήσει όλο το νησί και αποτελεί τον ανεπίσημο ληξίαρχο του! Στον παππού χρωστάω (μεταξύ των άλλων), πολλές από τις πληροφορίες που αναγράφονται στην ιστοσελίδα. Το iospaths, αποτελεί τον καρπό της αγάπης που εγώ και η σύζυγος μου τρέφουμε για το νησί. Μέσα από την ιστοσελίδα, προσπαθούμε να σας μεταφέρουμε μαγευτικά τοπία τα οποία έχουμε ανακαλύψει κατά τη διάρκεια των εξερευνήσεων μας. Ταυτόχρονα, θα προσπαθήσω να σας μεταφέρω μερικά από τα “μυστικά” του επαγγέλματος, όσον αφορά την πεζοπορία και τον αθλητισμό. Το iospaths ανήκει σε εσάς: Θα χαρούμε πολύ να συνδιαλεκτούμε, να ανταλλάξουμε απόψεις, και γιατί όχι, να αθληθούμε μαζί, έτσι ώστε εγώ, εσείς αλλά και το νησί που αγαπάμε, να γίνει καλύτερο. Γιώργος – Φλώρα
