Arta is a region of Epirus that spreads to 1662 square kilometers and has around to 70 thousand permanent residents. On the northern side it borders with the region of Ioannina, on the east with Trikala and Karditsa, on the west with Preveza and in the south is the region of Etoloakarnania and the Amvrakikos Gulf. Arta is also the capital and biggest city of Epirus.

Most of the area is mountainous (about 70%), with imposing mountains that stand out, such as the Tzoumerka or Athamanika Ori, the Xerovouni and the Ori Valtou.

Arta is surrounded by sea in the southern part of the Gulf of Amvrakikos, thus offering a variety of beautiful beaches. Several rivers cross from its territory. Arachthos, Louros and Acheloos, are some of them. It also has two artificial lakes (that of Arta and Pournari)and several lagoons.

The climate in the mountainous part of the region is continental, with cold winters and relatively cool summers, while in the coast the winter is more mild and the summer hotter. The residents are mainly engaged in agriculture, farming and fishery. At the same time, tourism is gradually growing.
