'''Thesprotia''' ([[Greek language|Greek]]: Θεσπρωτία) is one of the fifty-one [[prefectures of Greece]]. It is within the [[Epirus]] periphery. The capital is [[Igoumenitsa]]. Thesprotia is bounded by [[Albania]] to the north, the prefecture of [[Ioannina prefecture|Ioannina]] to the east and [[Preveza prefecture|Preveza]] in the south. It is one of the smallest Greek prefectures in population. There are three rural inhabitants for every two urban citizens [http://www.yuste.org/latoile/thesprotia.asp].

The provinces are small and there are four of them.

Much of the prefecture is mountainous while farmlands most of them with gridded roads and ditches are within the valleys in the central, southern and the western part. Two of Thesprotia's rivers are legendary: The [[Kalamas]] (Thiames) and [[Acheron]], lined with reedbeds and plane trees.

A new highway, [[Greece Interstate 4]] called ''Via Egnatia'', which began construction in 1996 links all the way to [[Thessaloniki]]. The construction was fully paved in the 2000s. Via Egnatia was first opened to traffic in [[2004]] with thousands of people cheering and celebrating the opening as they stand next to the superhighway south of Igoumenitsa. A possible bridge to [[Corfu]] is currently unplanned and unscheduled. Main roads are [[Greece Interstate 19|GR-19]] and [[Greece Interstate 6|GR-6]].

Igoumenitsa is the [[Port of Igoumenitsa|Port of Corfu]], overlooked by its Venetian fortress; it serves ferry routes to the islands of [[Corfu]] and [[Paxoi]] (includes Paxos and Antipaxos).

==Climate==

Thesprotia's coastal climate is Mediterranean. Cold winters of a semi-alpine climate dominate the eastern portion and higher elevations.
