Eleousa

Built around a road junction on the plain northwest of Ioannina, Eleousa grew into the administrative seat of the Municipality of Zitsa. It lies beneath the western slopes of Mount Mitsikeli, in an inland corner of Epirus where cultivated lowlands meet the broader Pindus mountain country. Close to the settlement stands the archaeological site of ancient Passaron, capital of the Molossians, an Epirote people who played a major role in the ancient Greek world. Eleousa also provides a useful starting point for the Zitsa wine area, known for wines made from the Debina grape.
