About Ioannina
Ioannina is a lakeside city in Epirus, north-west Greece, with a walled citadel, Ottoman mosques, silversmiths and the Zagori mountains close by.
Ioannina sits on the shore of Lake Pamvotida, below the mountains of the Pindus range in the Epirus region of north-west Greece. Its walled castle, with the inner citadel of Its Kale, encloses the Fethiye Mosque, the Byzantine Museum and a museum in the Aslan Pasha Mosque, all reached through stone lanes. The old town has a long tradition of silversmithing, and craft shops still sell silverwork.
