Why stay near Gitanae
Gitanae is the remains of a fortified ancient city of Epirus, spread across a low plain beside the Kalamas (ancient Thyamis) River in today’s Thesprotia region. Travellers usually reach it from Corfu, but it’s important to know the site is on mainland Greece, not the island. People come to Gitanae for its well-preserved Hellenistic theatre and for the sheer scale of the place: long stretches of city walls, open public spaces, and a visible street grid laid out in the landscape. What makes it distinctive is its political role. This wasn’t a ceremonial backwater, but a working civic centre where assemblies of the Epirote League met, including just before Rome conquered Epirus in 168 BC.
