Kipina Monastery in Kalarites, Tzoumerka, is one of the most impressive monasteries in Greece. The small church made of wood and stone, built inside a rock, will leave you speechless. The monastery was built in about 1212. The car road reaches the base of the cliff and then, if you want to go to the monastery, you must follow a path carved into the rock and a wooden bridge.

Famous tailors, builders, merchants, stone craftsmen and silversmiths, come from "Kalarites", which with "Syrrako" are traditional settlements and tourist resorts of the mountainous "Tzoumerka". The natural beauty is amazing.

The settlement, built at an altitude of 840m. amphitheatrically at the foot of the mountain "Strogoula" (2,107 m), perhaps the most imposing peak of Tzoumerka. The 500-year-old plane tree and the historic fountain "Arapis" dominate the main square, next to the main church of Agia Paraskevi.

Cave “Anemotripa” of Pramanta was discovered in 1960. A small slot in the rocks, from where cool air emerged initiated the exploration of the inner part of the rocks, and thus the discovery of the cave. It was given the name “Anemotripa”. It is the only cave in Greece penetrated by river. This results in cave’s self-purifying without any human intervention, making the visit there really enjoyable.

Plakas bridge built in 1866, it was considered the largest single-arched bridge in the Balkans, with an opening chamber of 40 meters, a height of 19 meters and an opening at the top of 3.2 meters. From 1881 to 1913 the bridge was a border between the Greek and Turkish states.

Its uniqueness consists in the fact that it includes works which speak of our home, Epirus, and its history - about what has brought it glory and made it respected by every Greek who hears its name. It is unique because it speaks about bread, the benefactor, the one who is exiled from his homeland, the man of the spirit and intellect, the Epirot craftsman, the shepherd, the farmer, the long-suffering Epirot mother - and about learning.

According to tradition the monastery was founded in 1190 by the emperor "Isaac II Angelos", destroyed in 1736 and renovated in 1779.
