EVRITANIA - GREECE | A Cinematic Short Film

Описание: I have spent seven spectacular days at Evritania region in central Greece known for its stunning natural beauty. The lush landscapes, picturesque mountains, and charming villages contribute to its unique allure. A unique alpine environment and rich cultural and historic heritage, constituting one of the cleanest ecosystems worldwide, according to UNESCO in 1991. The healthy climate, the forested slopes, and the countless streams give the impression of heaven on Earth. The region is the most thickly wooded, best-watered area in Greece. There are so many fir trees in Evrytania that you think you are amidst a magnificent forest. This is why the region has been nicknamed “Switzerland of Greece”. There are two possible explanations for the origin of the name “Evrytania”. It may derive from the Greek word “ev” which means “well” and the verb “hreo” which means “flow”; so, “Evrytania” means the place where there is plenty of fresh water. The second explanation is that the name comes from the verb “evrio” which means “stretching the cord of the bow”, hence the name of the first king of the area, Evritos, who was an excellent archer. According to Homer, the first known inhabitants of northern Evrytania were the Dolopes, who took part in the campaign against Troy around 1100 BC. The ancient capital of the region was Oihalia, situated close to the modern city of Karpenisi. It is also known that the honourable goddess of the area was Diana, goddess of hunting. In the later Roman Era, the area of Evrytania became known because of the famous battle that took place in the location “Kokalia” between the Roman and the Aetolian Commonwealth (Greek) armies, ending in favour of the former.
