The beauty and uniqueness of Konitsa region bewitches every visitor.

On the left shore of Sarantaporo one can find the sulphide curative baths of Kavasila. The therapeutic properties of the springs for the cure of fractures have been known since the middle byzantine era. The baths were burnt down in the war, by the German Occupation Army. They were rebuilt after the war, only to be burnt again by a forest fire in 1964. In the beginning of the 90s, the present hydrotherapy centre was built. The old baths, that were located on the opposite shore of Sarantaporo, at the place that belongs to Pixaria village, were ruined during the 2nd World War. There, visitors can enjoy a hot bath in the river.
