about the city
Ioannina, nestled in the heart of the Epirus region in northwestern Greece, is a city where history, nature, and culture intertwine seamlessly. Perched on the serene shores of Lake Pamvotis, Ioannina is enveloped in a misty allure, with its mirror-like waters reflecting the city's rich past and stunning landscapes. The city's centerpiece is the iconic Ioannina Castle, a Byzantine fortress that whispers tales of Ottoman rulers, Greek revolts, and centuries-old legends. Within its ancient walls, you'll find narrow, cobblestone streets lined with traditional houses, quaint cafes, and the hauntingly beautiful Aslan Pasha Mosque, a relic of the Ottoman era.
