The area of the new Municipality is 316.853 square metres while its population is around 9.000 and is significantly rising during the Summer months.

The characteristics which define the physiognomy of the Municipality are:

• The agricultural character of the plain in Paramythia.
• The intense cattle raising activities.
• The unique beauty of the natural landscape.

The town of Paramythia is situated in the North of the plain which begins from the river Aherondas that is known from the mythology and stretches until the village of Neohori, North-West.

In the East rises the mountain-chain of Korila (1658 metres high) and leaves only a narrow pass to the Prefecture of Ioannina - Skala of Paramythia. In the West it is shut in by low mountains which separate it from the plain of Margariti.

The town is amphitheatrically built and the last houses are built in the mountain-slope under the Castle of St Donatos.

In the foot of the town flows the small river Kokitos which is known from the mythology and it was formed ,according to mythology, from the tears of the relatives of the dead who were taken away by Death leading them with his boat to the underworld, through Lake Aherousia.

The presence of high mountains has as a consequence the shasp bas - relief which, in the lower parts, creates shut in by mountains valleys which are cultivated. In the lowest parts of the valleys that are not drained, lakes and swamps are created (eg. Hotkova).

The main products of the region are olives, olive oil, cattle-raising products, cheese and agriculture products.
