Zagori, Epirus: Kokkoris Bridge Protest, "Γέφυρα Κόκκορη, Βοϊδομάτης...No Oil - It's not an investment if it destroys Epirus"

Greenpeace activists and members of the Ioannina Mountaineering Club climbed to a 80-metre-high rock, hanging 120 square meters of banners with the message "No Oil - It's not an investment if it destroys Epirus".
