The whole city of Arta with its surroundings is full of valuable Byzantine churches and Parigoritissa, with its five domes, is the highlight.

The hidden tree church of St. Paisios was built inside a burnt oak tree, following in the footsteps of St. Paisios, who in his youth passed through the area, going to the nearby village of Amarantos to perform carpentry work on local houses. a few meters after the junction for the village of Agia Varvara, next to the road to Amaranto. The tree had been internally destroyed and set on fire (bystanders set fire to heat, or to barbecue) and with the result that every year its condition deteriorates and is ready to collapse.The tree to be saved was shielded internally with stone from the area and turned into a tree. Externally there is a small bell while inside there is a recess where the visitor can light a candle, a candle, a picture of Christ and Our Lady and in the center the image of Saint Paisios flooded with tribes of pilgrims.In Greece there are very few similar churches - places of pilgrimage within a tree and arouse the interest of Greek and foreign visitors.

Jut awsome. The bridge and the history behind it is a must visit and learn. Do yourself a favour and visit it next time you are in Greece.

The Museum and the castle of Ali Pasha Tepelena, (who as an Albanian ruler under the Ottoman empire), that I visited, was a great place and I would like to call it magnificent regard on historical importance. It was a well-preserved sight surrounded by welcoming people around that gave us even desserts to taste. During my two-day visit to the city, the cicerone didn't lie, never told the full story but discarded everything about Albanians, and their magnificent costumes and his activity related to an independent Albanian state. Lord Bayron had enthusiasm for the extravagance of Albanian dress during his visit to Ioannina (Janina) in the letter he wrote to his mother about his purchases: “I have some very ‘Magnifique’ Albanian dresses". Nothing was told during the visit about Pasha's and Albanians\Arvanites Great Contribution to Greek Independence even though the little library outside was full of books regarding Arvanites' contribution. They have removed the full name of him from all the city except his (Ferman) death sentence which written in full, Ali Pasha of Tepelena.

An historical bridge from the ottoman empire era, well restored and in an idyllic landscape at the very clear waters of Arathos river. Nearby a small private museum about the history and the culture of Arta.
