Explore the capital of Epirus, Ioannina.

Summary

Located in the northwestern part of the country, Ioannina is in the center of a valley, encompassed by enormous mountains and a wonderful lake but also just an hour away from the sunny Ionian Sea. The city was built upon the famous Egnatia Odos, a road that connects Europe and Asia but also one of the most ancient routes in history (used both by the Persians and ancient Greeks). Tour, wander, taste and LIVE! The most plain experiences turn to magical ones in Ioannina! A walk or maybe a tour ride beside lake Pamvotis offers breathtaking views. Wander along the town and discover the silversmiths’ shops. You get the opportunity to meet the legendary craftsmen whose creations are known all over Europe. The local cuisine of Ioannina will be satisfactory even for the most demanding visitors. Its pies and pastries are quite famous throughout Greek lands; every bite of them is a pleasurable reminder of the reason why Ioannina is a culinary crossroad between Europe and the East. Such experiences cannot be found in everyday life and that's why you should definitely give them a go!
