Egnatia Road, or « odos Egnatia », was built during the 2nd century BC by the Romans, and was intended to link Western and Eastern parts of the Roman Empire. Starting from Rome, passing through Brindisi, it enters Albania (Dürres), crosses Northern Greece from Florina to Traianoupoli, enters Turkey via Ypsala and ends in Istanbul.
For almost 2000 years a non-stop flow of soldiers, Crusaders, priests, brigands, merchants, peasants, artists, caravans and a lot of various ethnic groups (Greeks , Jews, Romans, Vlachs, Pomakes, Turks, Egyptians, Roms, … ) met, crossed, traded, … : making Egnatia an immensely rich melting-pot of cultures, traditions, and expertise.

The new Egnatia road, which was finished in the latter part of 2008, follows exactly the same path as the original route from Traianoupoli to Kozani. From there, it heads down Northern Epirus and ends its way in Igoumenitsa. All kinds of influences especially in traditions, instruments, music and dance have proliferated. All along the new Egnatia many « worlds » are living and mixing together : Thrace with its different ethnic groups), Macedonia (each region being so typical : Serres, Aridea, Florina, Veria, Alexandreia, Grevena, …) and Northern Epirus (Metsovo, Ioannina) … without forgetting the refugees from Romilia, Asia Minor, Pondos …

This is what Yiannis would like us to enjoy : this richness, still alive today. A trip through time, through space and deep inside the Greek soul.
