The Tzoumerka have dozens of small villages. Here are four, as the Greek Wikipedia describes them.
Ktistades and Graikiko
Ktistades, formerly Kousovista, was renamed Ktistades in 1927. It lies at 706 m, about 59 km from Arta, and the Anemotrypa cave is near it. Graikiko, about an hour's drive from Arta, consists of six settlements, among them Gouriana, known for its cave.
Lepiana
Lepiana, at 600 m, 48 km northeast of Arta via Rodavgi and the Tzari Bridge, has the church of the Presentation of Christ, built in 1415 and a listed monument since 1992, and Agios Ioannis with a valuable carved iconostasis. It celebrates the Presentation (2 February) and the Prophet Elijah (a three-day festival around 20 July).
Tetrakomo
Tetrakomo, at 950 m on the slopes of Kokkinolakos, 52 km from Arta, paid tribute to the Venetians in 1676 and had a protection agreement in 1695. In 1920 it peaked at 1,212 residents, and in 2021 it has 45.
