Hiking in Kouiassa Waterfall and Kipinas Monastery

Wherever you are in Epirus, somewhere near you, there will be a “hidden” place that will surprise you with its beauty. One of them is the waterfall of Kouiassa in Tzoumerka and more specifically, five minutes before you reach the village of Kalarrites, after the metal bridge that crosses Kalarritikos river, you can park your car where there is and the sign that starts the path. The path from the main road to the waterfall is only 15 minutes. On your way you will find a watermill that works as a cafe next to the river. As soon as you reach the waterfall, the landscape will enchant you with its beauty, so it is a very good idea, if you are there in the summer, to take a dip in the crystal clear waters of the Kalarritikos river.

Kouiassa bridge is a stone-built, single-arched, semicircular bridge in the valley of the river Chrousia. In the trunk of one part of the bridge there is a smaller arch that lightens the construction (relief arch) and allows the rapid passage of water in case of flood.

It was built with funding from wealthy residents and immigrants from Kalarrites, around 1800. The name Kouiassa means shady place.

Hiking in Tzoumerka (Athamanika) Theodoriana – Marks Stream – Rema Marks

The trail to the beautiful Marks Stream starts about 2.5 km from the village square on the way to Arta. Passing the junction at the water bottling plant, coming out of the road with the fir trees, one comes across, a sign that leads left to a forest road and to the beginning of the path.

The trail starts from the tarmac road and descends on a path into a wonderful fir forest, in the footsteps of the old path which led to “Elatia”. after few minutes we reach a bridge where we cross it and from that point and on, the entire trail is under the shade of the trees.

The trail is well signed, with older and newer signs and I could also say very easy to hike and very family friendly.
