Sagiada

It is the most north-western Municipality of the mainland of Greece, occupying the sea-side in the north side of the old outfalls of the Kalamas River, reaching the Greek-Albanian border line. It is well known for its fishing resources, while the fishfarming has a great development for the porgies and the bass fish. One must not pass through this region, without tasting little mullets roasted on the grill and shrimp at the taverns in “Skaloma”, the sea side of
Sagiada. Here you can enjoy one of the most beautiful sunsets of Greece.

With centre the settlement of old Sagiada (which also constitutes the main pole of attraction with the churches, its cobbled roads, its small squares, and houses that present a particular architectural interest), the visitor can visit a number of archaeological areas in
the region, as well as areas of wider interest such as:
• Gitani: Near the dam of river. City of Hellenistic years.

• Wider region: Traditional settlement in Plesio, Kasnetsi, Giromeri Monastery, Ragiou Abbey, Ragiou Tower, Ligkia, Castle of Igoumenitsa, etc
In addition, while the visitors are walking in the old paths and cobbled roads, they can also visit the delta of Kalamas river that presents an exceptional interest from the view of the region’s flora and fauna and attracts already a lot of researches from all around the world.
