Tsamantas

“The traditional village of Tsamanta showing well-preserved traditional architecture is located in the northern part of Thesprotia, near the border with Albania. To the north of the village is Mourganas, part of the row of acrocorrhes. It is a very rough area, which contains a series of peaks with mainly Slavic names such as sedulous, Dochas, Tsuka, Lake and Koziakas. Divided by two streams, the speech and Platanaki separating the village into three areas, but at the same time they give it insurmountable natural beauty. The climate is very pleasant and around the village the visitor will find plenty of sources with clean water. The defense potential of the location was detected by the first residents of Epirus during prehistoric times. The settlements were constructed on the plateau and were surrounded by huge stone circle walls. The movement process and the position of large boulders used in construction shows that the prehistoric ancestors of the village were extremely capable people with relative specialization. There is also a Folklore Museum to be visited by all guests. ” The name of Tsamantas owes her, according to Tsamantiotis, Lawarfos Nikolaos Nitus, the Byzantine family of Tsamandouri, to whom you were given (13th century) as a feud.
