IOANNINA
Ioannina, the capital of Epirus, spreads out around beautiful Lake Pamvotida.
The natural environment, the climate and character of the town are defined by this stretch of water – the area’s
trademark. The lake, with its still waters and its small island, is a natural monument, around which the entire area
lives and breathes. The strong cultural traditions of the town, home to a number of great novelists and poets, and the
artistic and intellectual events which are organized throughout the year, give visitors the opportunity to get to know the
roots of the intellectual life of Epirus.
A walk through the city has the feel of a bygone era, full of secret places and legends still living. Wonderful buildings
like the House Matei Hussein, the Ottoman mosque of Veli Pasha and the entire historic centre of the town are unique attractions.
Ioannina was always multicultural, dominated mainly by Christian, Islamic and Jewish influences. This coexistence of cultural influences
is clearly evident in the historic city centre. The Stoa Louli arcade is one of the locations where the three communities worked together
and prospered. The arcade was originally an inn and then became a mercantile exchange of great importance throughout the whole of Epirus.
