Cultural route in the ancient theaters of Epirus

Initiative of the association "Diazoma" for the promotion of the monuments

A cultural route with stops and visits to the ancient theaters of Epirus is proposed by the association "Diazoma". Its aim is to highlight monuments, which are largely unknown to visitors to the area, but at the same time to the rise of tourism and the benefits that may arise from the program.
For this purpose, the relevant proposal has been made to the Region of Epirus. According to it, "Diazoma" intends to draw up an "itinerary", a composition i.e. a visit to ancient theaters, securing the necessary documentation and permits, selecting the people who will guide each site and generally drawing up the non-tourist part of the visit program.
 The fact that Epirus was chosen as a pilot proposal is important, a non-tourist area (except for its beaches), which, however, has interesting monuments. In fact, the theaters of ancient Epirus reach the number ten, with that of Dodoni being the most important and also the largest, as well as that of Nikopolis, of Kassope,the small theater of Amvrakia, of Apollonia, of Bouthrotos, of the Gypsies, of Nice etc.
 The proposal also gains more interest due to the latest trend internationally to create specialized branded programs in the form of routes or networks, something that has not been done sufficiently in our country. These routes end, they are aimed at people with special interests and a high educational level, such as archaeologists, historians, architects, dramatists, directors, actors.
