Built on the banks of lake Pamvotida and capital of Epirus, the picturesque city of Ioannina is the attraction and the point of reference of many visitors, combining long history with rich social, cultural and economic activity. The small island of the lake is a site by itself with the churches and the rest of the historical monuments, while in the surrounding area, inside an environment of unique natural beauty, we encounter important monasteries with a remarkable past.
