SYRRAKO TZOUMERKA

Syrrako is a village of Epirus and specifically belongs to the prefecture of Ioannina. It belongs to the Municipality of North Tzoumerka and is built at an altitude of 1150m. on a hillside of Lakmos mountain. The name Syrrako comes from the Slavic word seraco meaning poor and barren. This designation was probably due to the overgrazing of the area. Syrrako has declared a traditional settlement, as this village with Kalarrytes village, are the only ones that have preserved until today the Epirus architecture in the south of the prefecture of Ioannina. To the preservation of the traditional architecture has contributed the fact that the entrance of motor vehicles in the village is prohibited. Syrrako founded around the 15th century A.D.
