Welcome to Pirrion, a high standard hospitality hotel, a mountain born fairy tale. From the fabled palace of Pyrros, King of Molossi, to our sweet journey in Central Zagori, now you can travel in tradition’s other dimension.
Within only a few years, Pirrion has transformed into an elegant mountain resort. Suites straight out of a fairy tale, which include a fire place, a jacuzzi and Cocomat bed systems for dreamy nights. All rooms are named after Spoon Sweets (Bergamot, Sour Cherry) as a tribute to seasonality and mediterranean diet that are traditional indicators of hospitality. The decoration changes follow the seasons (lit fireplaces, holiday ornaments, scented candles, local folklore elements). During the summer, visitors may enjoy their dinner on the cool terraces of Pirrion savoring the view as well as the flavors.
Visitors may enjoy their conversation by the fireplace with the accompaniment of a bottle of wine right off our wine cellar. They may relax at the Bar with some help from our book or film collection. There is also the recreation room, where they may play billiards or board games. There is soft music playing in all areas for positive energy. Pirrion offers the possibility to attend Massage/Yoga classes as well as environmental tourism activities, outdoor wine tasting or cultural events. Children’s care is embraced here with kids’ chairs, playpens and children’s books. Pirrion is across the street from a playground and the village square which is excellent for riding a bike in nature. You can even enjoy your breakfast in bed (especially if you are newlyweds).
You can enjoy our kitchen’s flavors if you have lunch or dinner, or if you choose to have your wedding or christening banquet at our restaurant.
Our grandfather’s Kostas X. Trakis’ heritage in Epirus’ traditional folk singing with his music band, “Perikloutsia” is still alive in Pirrion. The band was a pole of attraction during family feasts all around the Epirus mountains. You will find here pictures and photographs, old records, files and books about our family tradition still carrying grandfather’s spirit; he was the one who carved the first foundation shist stone in Pirrion when it was just a small mountain house.
And as our family was growing through time on the Zagori mountains, we supported our dream on our feelings for the place.
A unique destination of hospitality and tradition that will make you feel at home.
Preservation and protection of the area’s natural beauty and environmental sustainability are the main concerns of Pirrion Wellness Boutique Hotel. The family business combines an agrotouristic conscience with ecological philosophy in order to return to travellers mother earth’s “gifts”. The family, holding its own ecologic concerns as a principle, provide the travellers with an environmental coordination, and Pirrion with saving, thus choosing alternative management ways, in total harmony with the natural landscape. Staying in a Green hotel nowadays, wether it is for pleasure, or business, is of essential meaning. Saving energy and empowering our natural wealth are the motives, an act that, at the end of the day, comes back to us.
Zagori is an area in the Ioannina Prefecture in Epirus, in Northwestern Greece. The word Zagori comes from Slavic, from the proposition Za which means “behind” and the noun gora which means “mountain”. In antiquity its inhabitants were called «Parorei», those living behind the mountains. The Zagori villages-Zagorohoria are scattered on the foot of Pindos Mountain range.
Geographically speaking, Zagori is formed in the south by Mitsikeli mountain (which raises above the Ioannina lake), in the west by the roadway connecting Ioannina to Konitsa, in the northwest by beautiful Konitsa (through which runs Aoos River), in the north by Aoos valley (the valley between Konitsa and Vassilitsa mountain).
In the northeast by the North Pindos National Park (the unified “Vikos-Aoos” and “Valia Kalda” National Parks), in the east by the artificial lake of Aoos springs and in the southeast by part of Egnatia Road between Metsovo and Arachthos River (the bridge of Baldouma).

Papigo, Vradeto, Vrysochori, Iliochori, Kapesovo, Kipoi, Koukouli, Lesta, Leptokarya, Negades, Skamneli, Tsepelovo, Fragades, Vovousa is a complex of the almost 47 villages in Zagori. They are linked by common architectural, cultural and historical elements.
They are built according to local folklore, in which stone and wood hold a prominent position. During the period of Turkish rule, Zagorohoria manage to gain favor with High Gate, thus establishing autonomous province with important privileges. Prosperity in the area continues with the founding of schools. Traditional medicine flourished in the form of “Vikos’ doctors” who gathered herbs from the gorge. Many Enlightenment scholars, like N. Doukas and Ath. Psalidas came from Zagorohoria.
After the death of Ali Pasha starts the period of decline. Almost all villages have a central square with at least one centenarian plane tree standing in the middle of it. This is where all festivals take place, the biggest event of the year. Local folklore musicians used to entertain the locals and still do. All local dancers gather in a circle with the leading dancer dancing first. Most churches in Zagori date from the 17th century, even though some older archaic foundations survive.

In the Orient, “Hammam” ( حمّام ) are public baths, with both hot and cold water, where the hot water is heated through a special process and where temperatures reach around 40 degrees.
The history of the Hammam goes deep back into the centuries, from the Ottoman Empire and the Romans, right back to the Mesopotamian civilizations and the Ancient Greeks. Hammams have been praised not only for purifying the soul but also for their incomparable architecture and the unique designs and complex motifs by their creators throughout the world. Important military decisions were made there by male warriors whilst the women, in different sections, entertained themselves, discussing their woes and drank infusions from selected tea leaves.
Regardless of any erotic or religious ritual, it is a fact that the water and steam tone and invigorate the body and allow the pores of the skin to open, whilst the massage offers a feeling of deep relief and healthiness, improves for blood circulation and allows the body to fully relax.
At Pirrion Wellness Boutique Hotel we consider ourselves to be a place where the culture of the Hammam is continued. A wellness dream in the mountains.
