The municipality ofHimara numbers 11037 inhabitants, a solid people with morethan 85% Greek speaking as their mother tongue.

Our municipality is mainly rural; as the area lack's urbanplanning, selecting the most suitable locations with regard tohouse building in older times, was solely based on folk tradition.A visitor arriving in Himara never feels like a stranger, as thelocals greet him/her as they would an old acquaintance. At thelocal restaurants and taverns one can savour the traditional localdishes-absolutely scrumptious mind you- as well as internationalcuisine.

The spotless beaches and the radiant sun from dawn to dusk,are just a couple of inviting features in Himara's natural settings,which our township has to offer in a truly bountiful manner. Paythe picturesque villages a visit, where the popular style of housebuilding one comes across in the coastal area yet lives on andalso experience the many traditional holiday fests that takeplace throughout the entire year. The Byzantine churches andthe monasteries, timeless marvels of ecclesiastical architecturewill surely live up to your expectations.

ABOUT

HIMARA

The region of Himara, named after the county town of Himara(Heimarra) on the shores of the Ionian Sea, historically commen-ces at the village of Nivitsa to the south and ends at the Logarasmountain ridge to the north. On the one hand lies the deep blue ofthe Ionian Sea and a continuous series of peninsulas, capes andbays, some of which, like Panormos, are closed and sheltered fromthe wind, while others provide long and beautiful beaches; and onthe other side lies the mass of the Akrokeravnia mountain range,with high peaks that include Tsika, Avgo, and Messimeri. This stripof land between the mountain peaks and the sea is the beautifuland historic land of Himara, with its villages and their old, stone-built houses, the Byzantine churches and monasteries, the castlesand other monuments, as well as the people of Heimarra, hospi-table and proud, who have remained unbowed throughout history.

Let's take a look at the villages of Himara. First of all, thecounty town of Himara, which includes the individual settle-ments of Kastro (Castle); Old Himara (Palaia Himara) with itsmonuments and its unique architecture; Spilia (Cave) on thebeach which is the modern economic and tourist hub; Potami(the river) with its wonderful beach and its hotel rooms; evenLivadi (Meadow) with its wonderful sea; Zamari; Michaili;

Stefaneli etc

North of Himara the first village we encounter isVouno, a wonderful place with old stone houses, anda wonderful beach at Gyali. Then there is the smallvillage of Liates (Elias) and close by is the wonderfulbeach at Zypaea that leads to a magnificent andsteep canyon. After Liates, the road takes us to Dry-mades, a large and particularly beautiful village,with old churches, lovely houses and, crowning thetop of the hill, overlooking the village, the Monaste-ry of Panagia (the Mother of Christ), further up inthe mountain there is an other monastery Stavrou or26

DHRYMADHES

VUNO

Stavridi (the holy cross). The ravine of the river lies between thetwo slopes on which Drymades are built, and at certain points theriver bed forms waterfalls. The beach at Drymades is called Giali-skari and is perhaps the most beautiful stretch ofsand in the region.

After Drymades, to the north we come to thefinal village, Palassa, the ancient town of Palae-ste; then the road winds up the AkrokeravniaMountains along a breathtaking cliff edge, over-looked by Tsika, the highest peak. Along themountain ridge, where the road starts to winddown towards Avlona lies Logaras, and here the-re are a number of taverns in this woody region.

North of Himara there are two mountain vil-lages that cannot be reached on the sea route. Inorder to get acquainted with these villages, wehave to take other roads that scrabble up theAkrokeravnia Mountains.Pyliouri is at the highest al-titude, built like an eagle'snest, with magnificent viewsover the Ionian Sea. It liesabove the clouds and abovethe circling eagles that arecommon to the area. Its na-me comes from being the Pylior Gateway to the mountains;and its inhabitants have along history of being moun-tain warriors who guardedthe mountain pass into Hi-mara. The second village is Koudessi, located at alower altitude on the slopes of the Akrokeravniaon an inland valley that heads southward.

We return to Himara and head south: after thebeach at Lamana we come across the closed bayof Panormos. In the centre of the bay is a penin-sula on which is Panormos Castle, which is still inexcellent condition, along with the little chapelof Agios Nikolaos. We continue on and soon comeacross the village of Kiparo. High on the hill Old Kiparo perchesprecariously, a veritable museum of local architecture withwonderful old houses and churches. New Kiparo next to the seaoffers a wonderful beach. This is the end of the Municipality ofHimara: the remaining villages we will come across historically 27

belonged to the county of Himara but now belong to the Prefe-cture of Agioi Saranta, but we will include them on our tour,

wanting to show you all the hi-storical region of Himara.

We continue, therefore, foranother four kilometres, beforewe come to Borsi, which in anti-quity was known as Maeandreia,and during Byzantine years wasSopoto. The castle at Sopoto islocated a little to the north ofthe present-day village, on top

of a hill. This village has wonderful running waters, a lovely beachand a number of taverns. It is also the only village in the area withMuslim inhabitants. The inhabitants of all the other villages are

over-whel-mingly Greek Orthodox. Borsi is the starting point of abarely passable road that leads to the so-called Liapouria, behindthe Akrokeravnia Mountains: up to the seventeenth century thevillages of this region also belonged to Himara.

We continue to the north, and after Borsi we come to twovillages built in a green region with lovely beaches, Pikerni (itsbeach called Bouneci) and Loukovo; then the road proceeds in-land and we come to Agios Vassilis, a village rich with traditionalarchitecture. Near this village lie a set of ancient walls, which cer-tain archaeologists believe belong to the ancient city of ChaoniaPheonike. Finally, we reach Nivitsa, the final village on our trek,and its beach Kakomaea.

History

Chimaera, the ancient city from which Himara evolved, wasone of the most important cities of Chaonia, one of the states ofAncient Epirus that commenced south of Avlona and continuedto the south up to the river Kalamas. Other cities that were partof Ancient Chaonia were Orikon, Paleaste, Maeandreia, Phoe-nike, Vouthroto and others. The origin of the name Chimaera liesin the mythical beast Chimera, slain by Bellerophon; later thename evolved to Chimara; in the latter Byzantine years thespelling was wrongly changed to Heimarra, as the etymology ofthe name was wrongly imputed to derive from Heimarros (smalltorrential river): thus both spellings HIMARA and HEIMARRAshould be considered correct.

The castle at Palaia (Old) Himara is the site of continualhuman habitation for over three thousand years, and this meansthat monuments and architectural elements coexist side by sidefrom all the periods covered by that span. Points of the lowerand oldest level of the walls contain exceptional and carefullysquared off megaliths that date back to the second millenniumB.C. The now deserted bishop's mansion was built on the ruins ofa temple dedicated to the god Apollo. An inscription found herein Ancient Greek proclaims that

, in other words Apollo Phoebusfounded the city of Chimaera.

According to Thucydides, the Chaones were a people withoutkings, ruled by two lords who were elected every year and whowere descended from the ancient royal bloodlines, whoseprivileges had been circumscribed.

In the seventh century BC during the Messenian War, theSpartans came to Himara, an event that marked the beginning ofa relationship and a closeness between these two regions: arelationship that can be observe many times through the courseof history, creating a tradition of joint ancestry and many othercommon characteristics. Moreover the people of both regionshave a common distant Doric ancestry and many elements of theAncient Doric forms are preserved in the local dialect of Himarato this day.

SPILIA - HIMARA

BUTRINT - VUTHROTO

In the fifth century BC Chaonia took part in the Pelo-ponnesian war on the side of the Spartans, as did all of Epirus withthe exception of Amvracia. The region set off on militaryexpedition under its lords Photios and Nicanor against the Acar-nanians. The expedition was a failure and this marked the begin-ning of the declineof Chaonia and therise of the Molos-sias the dominantpower in the regi-on.Later the Molo-ssian King Neopto-lemos would createthe confederationof Epirotes, whereone of the three generals had to be a Chaon.

The Romans landed their forces and invaded Epirus. Theytook terrible vengeance for the victories of King Pyrrus, destro-ying most Epirote cities and selling many Epirotes as slaves.Later Epirus would also bear the brunt of destruction from thebarbarian raids of the Goths, the Huns, the Ostrogoths and Slavs.During the Byzantine era, Justinian renovated and fortified thecastle of Himara, making it the seat of a bishopric; however theraids and destruction would continue as the area suffered thedepredations of the Saracens, Bulgarians, Crusaders, Serbs,Albanians and Turks.

In 1403 Charles, King of Naples, landed on the beach ofHimara and pushed the Albanian-speaking people to the

north. Some years later the Himariotes, led by thelocal lord Georgios Stressios, a personal friend ofGeorgios Kastriotis, attempted to stop the invasion ofEpirus by the Ottoman Turks. After the fall of Krugia,

Himara remained the only free region in all of Epirus,and was self-governed under the protection of the

Venetian Republic. In 1473 the people of Himara, underVlassis campaigned against the Turks and with Venetianassistance took the fort of Sopoto (now Borsi) and reachedfrom Avlona (Valona) to Sagiada, but were betrayed by theVenetians, who came to terms with the Turks and signed apeace treaty. In 1481 the people of Himara rebelled againstTurkish rule. Led by Korkodilos Kladas and his son Skender-

bey Ioannis Kastriotis, and with assistance from the Kingof Naples, they liberated the city. With Ioannis Kastriotisas administrator the city managed to impose suzeraintytax on the Turkish commandant of Valona. Himaran

independence would last ten years, after which the city would fallto the army of Sultan Bayezid. The forced conversion to Islam ofthe inland villages commenced. One of those converted to Islam,from the village of Palassa would reach the rank of Pasha in

Valona under the name LiazPasha. The attempt to imposeIslam became more general,but the Himariotes resisteddesperately, finally achievinga peace treaty that recogni-sed Turkish sovereignty butmaintained exceptional pri-vileges. Thirty-three Greekvillages of Himara created theAutonomous Keravnian Com-

monwealth, that was self-governed, free from taxation or con-scription, with a local justice system, and the right to bear armsthroughout Epirus, rights that Himara held for centuries.

Despite the privileges and the essential autonomy obtainedby Himara, throughout the Ottoman years the town continued tostruggle against the Turks: there was not a single revolt, war orrevolution in which Himara refused to take part.

During the seventeen seventies, Cosmas Aetolos came toHimara, recommending that its inhabitants build schools ratherthan so many churches. At the time Himara had agreat many churches, one for every saint. Thepeople of Himara heeded his counsel and built aschool that would become renowned as theAkrokeravnian School of Himara. Near the schoolthey also built a large and impressive church tothe Agioi Pantes (All Saints), seeking to venerateall the saints together. During that period Greekschools were established in the villages of Vou-no, Drymades, Kiparo, Pikerni, Agios Vasileiosand Lykouressi. Rich philanthropists from Himaraprovided money to benefit the region and tomaintain the schools.

Then came the years when Ali Pasha ruled in Ioannina. AliPasha tried with all the means at his disposal to conquer Himara,drawing a noose ever tighter around the region, taking anddestroying the villages of Himara, exiling their inhabitants toSalaora, near Arta, building the castle at Panormos, on the ruinsof an older castle and a monastery to control the Himariotes.

In 1821, when the Greek War of Independence broke out, Hi-mariotes were among the first to rally to the flag of rebellion

throughout the land. Athanassios Himariotes was with Ypsi-lantis in Moldavia, Spyros Spyromilios was at Valtos, at Messo-longhi, at Phaleron, other famous fighters also made their na-mes, including Gkiokas, Dimitriou, Harissis, Nestos, Zahos,Dimas, Goretsis, Doukas.

On the 5 November 1912 Major Spyros Spyromiliosfrom Himara in charge of a force of Himaran volunte-ers and Cretan gendarmes made a landing liberatingHimara. Over the following days he would liberate theentire county.

On 9 February 1914 the people of Himara reactedagainst the plans of the Great Powers to include thetown within the boundaries of the Albanian state, upto 1921 Himara was successively autonomous, underGreek Administration, Italian military occupation andonce more autonomous.

During the 1940-1941 war between Greece andItaly, important battles took place in the region around Himara.On December 22, 1940 the Greek army entered Himara and thecitizens welcomed them with enthusiastic celebrations.

In 1945 the people of Himara refused to participate in theplebiscite that would legalise the regime of Enver Hoxha. Manylocals were arrested. The man behind the movement, AndreasDimas was buried alive. The regime went on to shut down theGreek school, the Akrokeravnia School and remove from Hima-riotes all minority rights.

THE CASTLE OFHIMARA The oldtown of Himara, theCastle is in and ofitself an importantmonument requiringprotection so that itdoesn't suffer irre-versible damage. It has signs of constant habitation for over3,500 years. There are important sights at the Castle.

PANAGIA KASOPITRA A Byzantine church with an icon ofPanagia - the Mother of Christ - that is believed to be mira-culous. In periods of drought the people of Himara would paradethe icon and sing hymns and strong rain would follow shortly.

Himara is known for its wonderful beaches, most ofwhich are pebble beaches, although some have sand.Spilia, the central beach of Himara attracts a lot ofvisitors in the summer. Further on there is Prinos, Potami,Filikouri; to the south lie Lamana, Kiparo, Borsi, thebeaches at Pikerni (Bouneci) and Loukovo and Kakomaeaat Nivitsa (with a very perilous road). Beneath the Castleof Himara is the Livadi and then to the north lies Giali,Foussa, Zissos, Zypaea, Karkaniki, Gialiskari at Drymades,Palassa and Dralaios.

At various points on the beaches of Himarra the water is coldbecause of the underground springs that exist. A few dozenmetres away from these points, however, the water temperaturerises once more to normal levels. During the summer monthsmany small boats offer rides to the beaches near Spilia.

The Akrokeravnia Mountains of Himara offer many opportu-nities for mountain climbing and hiking. The peaks of Tsika,Avgo, Messimeri and many more are intimidating challenges toany mountain climber. There are also trails that are ideal forbeginners while others are suitable only for very experiencedclimbers.
