Editing Epirus (section)

==Transportation==
Epirus has historically been a remote and isolated region due to its location between the Pindus mountains and the sea. In antiquity, the Roman [[Via Egnatia]] passed through [[Epirus Nova]], which linked Byzantium and Thessalonica to [[Dyrrachium]] on the [[Adriatic Sea]]. The modern ''Egnatia Odos'', the [[A2 motorway (Greece)|A2 motorway]], which links [[Ioannina]] to the Greek province of Macedonia and terminating at [[Igoumenitsa]], is the only highway through the Pindus mountains and has served to greatly reduce the region's isolation from the east, while the [[Ionia Odos|Ionia Odos highway]], connecting Epirus with [[Western Greece]], helped reducing the region's isolation from the south. Also, the [[Aktio-Preveza Undersea Tunnel]] connects the southernmost tip of Epirus, near [[Preveza]], with [[Aetolia-Acarnania]] in western Greece. Ferry services from [[Igoumenitsa]] to the [[Ionian islands]] and [[Italy]] exist. The only airport in Epirus is the [[Ioannina National Airport]], while the [[Aktion National Airport]] is located just south of Preveza in [[Aetolia-Acarnania]]. There are no railroads in Epirus.
