Epirus is a historical and geographical region in Northwestern Greece. A spectacular European secret of natural beauty, storied history and stoic people. Follow me as I venture through this land that has, for so long, been mostly hidden from the rest of the world. This is my love letter to a region that has stolen my heart, a document of its people and their passions, their pride in the community, and their hopes for the future. But more than that, it is also a journey of self-discovery, as I get to know a place, I hope to one day call home. This is Epirus Falls.

    Have you ever wondered about the creative community here in Epirus? Well, on a recent trip to Ioannina, I came across a workshop in the centre of the city with a window full of puppets, toys and all sorts of creations. In the latest episode of Epirus Falls, we talk to wood craftsman Paraskevas Tsikouras. He tells us all about his profession, how he makes ends meet and also offers some sage advise to anyone considering a similar career in woodcraft.
