Evrytania (
Greek: Ευρυτανία, alternative romanization Evritania,
Latin: Eurytania) is one of the
prefectures of Greece. It is within the periphery of
Central Greece and its capital is
Karpenisi (approx. 8,200 inhabitants). The prefecture was created in
1947 out of the Aitolia-Acarnania prefecture. It is almost entirely formed of mountains , including the
Tymfristos and the
Panaitoliko in the south, rivers including the
Acheloos in the west, Agrafioti to the east, and
Megdova in the east flowing down to the
Ionian Sea. It is one of the least populated prefectures in Greece, and also one of the few prefectures to use only one area code. The area borders
Aetolia-Acarnania to the west, southwest and south (west over the
Acheloos river),
Karditsa to the north, and
Phthiotis to the east. Evyrtania also features a famous skiing resort located near Karpenisi on the Tymfristos mountain ; since
2004, the 1.4 km-long Tymfristos Tunnel lies to the east.
