Ioannina: top attractions and places - traditional old town | Greece, land of myths | Yanya
IOANNINA: A TRIP TO THE LAKE AND ITS LEGENDS
Mosques, monasteries and memories reflected in a shimmering lake
Myths surround the city of Ioannina. They hover in the mist that often hangs over its lake and the island in its centre. This time, the myths don’t revolve around gods and heroes, but rather historical personalities. Chief among them is Ali Pasha, the maverick 19th century Turko-Albanian ruler and his court. Intertwined with Ioannina’s history, in this corner of Western Greece, other myths haunt the old, walled district, the Kastro, the citadel of Its Kale, the Byzantine monasteries on the Island and the rich museums.
They are an inseparable part of the city’s life and you will feel their presence even in its green parks, in the little shops on Independence Street, in the groups of lively university students and their hangouts, in the lakeside restaurants, bars and cafes. You’ll catch glimpses of them in the peerless work of Ioannina’s famed silversmiths. And they may even follow you up to the cave at Perama, the theatre at Dodoni and the Zagorohoria mountain villages. Let yourself be captivated by the legends surrounding this beautiful city in Epirus.
What to do in Ioannina
Lake Pamvotis: a 20,000-year-old attraction!
City life revolves around this romantic lake. Get to know it by strolling along its banks, taking a boat ride, fishing, rowing, or having a drink on the lakefront. According to geologists at Cambridge University, it was formed between 20,000 and 26,000 years ago.
Nisi: the Island, a Byzantine realm
It’s only a short boat ride to the Island, but once there, you’ll have to walk. Make sure you visit the Byzantine monasteries (Agios Panteleimon), which all have wonderful frescoes. And then take some time to learn about Ali Pasha, the Lion of Epirus. Regarded by Napoleon as an equal, he was erratic, hosting a great number of foreign dignitaries in his palace, including Lord Byron. Finish your visit on a lighter note with a feast of local specialties, such as grilled trout and eel, at one of the island’s tavernas.
A walk by the lake with the mist for company
In early morning, a curtain of mist invariably hangs over the lake. When it lifts, the figures of cyclists, fishermen and strollers emerge on the lakeshore path, like paintings amidst the scattered sculptures by Epirot artists. You’ll walk in the shadow cast by the Kastro’s two mosques – Aslan and Fetihe.
The Kastro, a melting pot of religions and cultures
For centuries, Jews, Christians and Muslims coexisted in the alleys of this oldest, walled part of Ioannina. And their children played amongst Muslim monuments and synagogues. Today many of their pastel-coloured Macedonian-style houses are still lived in or have become boutique hotels. As you wander these atmospheric streets in the shadow of its sturdy walls, fascinating attractions will catch your eye; the Old Synagogue, the House of Pasha Kalou, the 18th century Soufari Serai, the Turkish baths (hammams) and lots more.
Its Kale, the Kastro’s inner citadel in Ioannina
Just sit in the cafe, encircled by the impressive buildings and walls of Its Kale with the lake beyond them, and you’ll feel transported back to another era. Then go explore the citadel in depth, for here are the Fetihe Mosque (which Ali Pasha built for his seraglio’s worship), the tomb (where his headless corpse was interred), the exceptional Byzantine Museum, the resplendent Treasury, the Arcades and Bohemond’s tower.
Ancient Dodoni: oracle and theatre
A spectacular narrow valley, just 22km south of Ioannina, is the site of Dodoni, one of Greece’s most important archaeological sites. A centre of worship for the father of gods, a renowned oracle. The site’s most impressive attraction is the celebrated theatre from the 3rd century BC. With a capacity of about 18,000 spectators, it is one of the country’s largest.
The Perama Cave, pride of the Balkans
A mere 4km from Ioannina, this cave ranks among the most extraordinary in the whole of the Balkan peninsula. Geologists date its age at 1.5 million years. See if you can discover all 19 different types of stalactites. Noteable spectacles within include the large ‘hall’ of the ‘mythical palaces’, the Statue of Liberty and Santa Claus, and a chamber with breathtaking subterranean pools.
Hidden gems of Ioannina
The fine art of Ioannina’s silversmiths
Handmade jewellery, flatware, trays and ecclesiastical objects all display a standard that comes from generations of experience crafting silver. Silversmiths were among the traditional occupations in Epirus from the 18th century on, with Ateliers at the Tzoumerka villages of Kalarrytes and Syrrako.
The wonderful museums of Ioannina
These include the Byzantine Museum in Its Kale, the Municipal Folk Art Museum, the Archaeological Museum and the Athanasios Vrellis Wax Museum, at Bizani.

Ioannina, often called Yannena within Greece, is the capital and largest city of Epirus, an administrative region in north-western Greece. It lies at an elevation of approximately 500 metres (1,640 feet) above sea level, on the western shore of lake Pamvotis. It is located within the Ioannina municipality, and is the capital of Ioannina regional unit and the region of Epirus. Ioannina is located 450 km (280 mi) northwest of Athens, 290 kilometres (180 miles) southwest of Thessaloniki and 80 km (50 miles) east of the port of Igoumenitsa in the Ionian Sea.
Founded by the Byzantine Emperor Justinian in the 6th century AD, Ioannina flourished following the Fourth Crusade, when many wealthy Byzantine families fled there in the early 13th century following the sack of Constantinople. It was part of the Despotate of Epirus from 1358 to 1416, before surrendering to the Ottomans in 1430. Between 1430 and 1868 the city was the administrative center of the Pashalik of Yanina. In the period between the 18th and 19th centuries, the city was a major center of the modern Greek Enlightenment.[2][3][4][5] Ioannina joined Greece in 1913 following the Balkan Wars.
Τα Ιωάννινα γνωστά και ως Γιάννενα ή Γιάννινα είναι η πρωτεύουσα και μεγαλύτερη πόλη του νομού Ιωαννίνων και της Ηπείρου. Τα Ιωάννινα βρίσκονται στο βορειοδυτικό κομμάτι της ηπειρωτικής Ελλάδας, στο κέντρο του ομώνυμου λεκανοπεδίου. Είναι μία από τις μεγαλύτερες πόλεις της Ελλάδας με πλούσια πολιτιστική παράδοση και σύγχρονες αναπτυξιακές επιχειρήσεις. Η διάνοιξη της Εγνατίας οδού συνδέει οδικά τη δυτική με τη βόρεια και ανατολική Ελλάδα. Μεταξύ των πολυποίκιλων γεωγραφικών χαρακτηριστικών της περιοχής, ξεχωριστή θέση κατέχει η λίμνη Παμβώτιδα, που παράκειται της πόλης. Άξιο αναφοράς είναι και το νησάκι της λίμνης (νήσος Ιωαννίνων), στο οποίο βρίσκεται μικρός οικισμός και διάφορα μνημεία και αξιοθέατα, όπως η τελευταία κατοικία του Αλή Πασά. Τρία χιλιόμετρα από την πόλη των Ιωαννίνων βρίσκεται το σπήλαιο Περάματος Ιωαννίνων, μήκους περίπου 830 μέτρων και εκτάσεως περίπου 14400 τ.μ. Το σπήλαιο ανακαλύφθηκε από κατοίκους της πόλεως που προσπάθησαν να βρουν καταφύγιο από τους βομβαρδισμούς των ιταλικών αεροπλάνων το 1940.50 χμ έξω από την πόλη βρίσκεται η γραφική Κόνιτσα και ο ποταμός Αώος.

Greek Alps ~ Smokovo Lake | Rentina | Domokos Central Greece ~ Σμόκοβο, Ρεντίνα, Δομοκός
Authentic destinations in Greece. Karditsa is surrounded by beautiful small villages, all of them representative of traditional local architecture. Visit Rentina, the “Queen of Agrafa”, certainly a religious experience to behold with a plethora of byzantine churches, a 15th century monastery and a Byzantine Art Museum. Pamper yourself in the modern hydrotherapy center of Smokovo, with the therapeutic natural springs soothing tired limbs since ancient times. Be one of the few who discover the original beauty of Oxya village, or pay a visit to mountainous Mouzaki, an important commercial and administrative center of the region, with the river Pamisos passing through it. Another highlight of the area is the well-preserved medieval castle of Fanari (Kastro), affording stunning views across the plain of Thessaly.
The curative springs of Smokovo are 35 km southwest of Karditsa, in the mountain mass of Agrafa and at an altitude of 450 metres. The first mention of the use of the hot springs is made in 1662. At that time, two lords from Smokovo, Moshos and Fragkos Stravoenoglou, built temporary facilities for their baths. The inhabitants mimiced them and this resulted in the spread of the fame of the extraordinary properties of the springs. Among the most famous visitors of that time were Ali Pasha of Ioannina and Mahmout Pasha. To honour them, two springs were named after them. The waters gush from five springs and are channeled in the hydrotherapy centre.
Curative Water
The temperature of the water of the spring is 42oC
Characterisation: Superheated HCO3- Na- HS- F hypotonic, slightly radioactive (spring of Alexander)
Therapeutic Indications: Chronic rheumatisms, arthritis, ailments of the respiratory system, ailments of the digestive system, skin ailments, endocrine failures, gynecological ailments
Health thermalism facilities
There are 43 individual Jacuzzi tubs, 22 individual inhaling devices and 7 individual nasal cleansing devices in the hydrotherapy centre facilities. In the new wing of the centre, visitors will find a curative tank (pool), rooms for sauna and Turkish Baths, rooms for massage as well as a fully equipped gym. The temperature of the water in the hydrotherapy centre is 35oC. The facilities are open from June to October, seven days a week, while during winter they are open only on Saturday and Sunday. The pool is open from 09:00 am to 18:00 pm. In the area there are also facilities for accommodation and eating.
Arriving at Loutropigi in no case should not be overlooked by the idea that mountain wanderings have come to an end. The opposite, indeed. The wild nature of Agrafa has just begun to show its true moods.
The most beautiful route in general is that linking Loutropigi with Rentina. The road is crowded in the rich relief created by the surrounding mountains and as it moves at a height of 1,000-1,200 meters through a dense forest of oak forests, reveals an aerial dimension view of the fossils of Fthiotida and Evritania. The best places to stop are the chapel of Ag. Fanouriou (soon after the crossing for Aidonochori) nestling in the forest next to a spring and the temple of Ag. Trinity from where you will enjoy the magnificent view - and the two small temples will see them on the road, at an altitude of 900 meters. The final destination is Rentina, the old head village of Roumeli, also known as the Queen of Agrafa.
The forests of Rentina are a wildlife sanctuary, as the few wolves left in Central Greece are still looking for habitat.

The Baths of Ali Pasha
The natural spas of Smokovo are 35 km south-west of Karditsa, in the southern Agrafa mountain range and at an altitude of 400 m. Although the healing properties of springs spilling near the area have been known since antiquity, the emergence and systematic exploitation they began in 1662 by two wealthy Smokovite merchants who maintained important commercial activities in the Danubian areas.
Over the years, Baths have been known all over Greece for the beneficial and healing properties of their sulphurous and alkaline waters. Among the most famous visitors of the time were Ali Pasha of Ioannina and Mahmoud Pasha. In fact, two of the thermal springs bear their name. In 1882, the Greek state was responsible for their management. The opening of the Karditsa-Smokovo road takes place in the early 20th century when the first hotels begin to appear, while in 1923 the pioneering hydromassage was built.

Lake Pamvotida (Pamvotis) Ioannina, Greece
Lake Pamvotida (Pamvotis), Ioannina, Greece
Lake Pamvotida - in ancient times known as “Pamvotis” is the largest lake of Epirus and the second oldest lake in Europe. Situated right next to the city of Ioannina, this beautiful lake is a true gem of the Epirus region. A lake that is believed to have been in existence for more than 10,000 year! The lake is supplied by the springs of Mount Mitsikeli, of Drabatova, Sendeniko and Krya. There are thick reed beds around the lakeside as well as dense thickets of willows, poplar trees and huge plane trees which offer shelter from the wind to a host of local and migrational birds. The beautiful lake Pamvotis extends in 23 square kilometers, 470 m above sea level. The lake was formed in 10.000 BC. The depth of the lake varies from 3 – 13 meters and has a perimeter of 33 km. Its maximum width is 5 km and is 7.5 km long. Pamvotida lake is a fine and delicate ecosystem, which belongs to the European Network of Protected Areas, home for flora and fauna rare species, such as crayfishes, sheatfishes, carps, ducks, eels as well as many amphibians and migratory birds. The small island in the lake is the only inhabited island in Greece without a name. It is simply called Nissi which in Greek means island. The Historical museum of Ali Pasha and the many post-Byzantine monasteries are some of the attractions of the island. The Lake offers perfect conditions for water skiing, rowing and canoeing, as the wind in the area is usually very favourable.

History of the Jews in Greece
Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written
language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through
audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio
while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using
a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
Jews have been present in Greece since at least the fourth century BC. The oldest and the most characteristic Jewish group that has inhabited Greece are the Romaniotes, also known as Greek Jews. However, the term Greek Jew is predominantly used for any person of Jewish descent or faith that lives in or originates from the modern region of Greece.
Aside from the Romaniotes, a distinct Jewish population that historically lived in communities throughout Greece and neighboring areas with large Greek populations, Greece had a large population of Sephardi Jews, and is a historical center of Sephardic life; the city of Salonica or Thessaloniki, in Greek Macedonia, was called the Mother of Israel. Greek Jews played an important role in the early development of Christianity, and became a source of education and commerce for the Byzantine Empire and throughout the period of Ottoman Greece, until suffering devastation in the Holocaust after Greece was conquered and occupied by the Axis powers despite efforts by Greeks to protect them. In the aftermath of the Holocaust, a large percentage of the surviving community emigrated to Israel or the United States.
The Jewish community in Greece currently amounts to roughly 8,000 people, concentrated mainly in Athens, Thessaloniki (or Salonika in Judeo-Spanish), Larissa, Volos, Chalkis, Ioannina, Trikala, Corfu and a functioning synagogue on Crete, while very few remain in Kavala and Rhodes. Greek Jews today largely live side by side in harmony with Christian Greeks, according to Giorgo Romaio, president of the Greek Committee for the Jewish Museum of Greece, while nevertheless continuing to work with other Greeks, and Jews worldwide, to combat any rise of anti-Semitism in Greece. Currently the Jewish community of Greece makes great efforts to establish a Holocaust museum in the country. A permanent pavilion about the Holocaust of Greek Jews in KZ Auschwitz shall be installed. A delegation and the president of the Jewish communities of Greece met in November 2016 with Greek politicians and asked them for support in their demand to get back the community archives of the Jewish community of Thessaloniki from Moscow.
Ecclesiastical Museum of Alexandroupolis

Τα Ιωάννινα είναι πρωτεύουσα της Ηπείρου. Μια από τις πιο ωραίες πόλεις στην Ελλάδα διότι συναντάς την δυναμική της φύσης σε όλο της το μεγαλείο .
Το φθινόπωρο οι αποχρώσεις των δέντρων στο κάστρο μοιάζουν σαν ζωντανός πίνακας ζωγραφικής καταξιωμένου ζωγράφου .Τον χειμώνα τα μανιασμένα κύματα της λίμνης ενώ ο αέρας λυσσομανάει χτυπάνε την ακτή .Οι νυφάδες του χιονιού καλύπτουν την πόλη από ακρη σε άκρη ντύνοντας την στα Λευκά. Την άνοιξη τα ανθισμένα δέντρα στον Μόλο τα τιτιβίσματα των πουλιών οι κύκνοι στην λίμνη κολυμπούν αμέριμνοι , τα καραβάκια πηγαινοφέρνουν κόσμο στο νησάκι .
Το καλοκαίρι κάτω από την σκιά των δέντρων ο επισκέπτης γαληνεύει την ματιά του στα καταπράσινα φύλλα των δέντρων και στα ήρεμα νερά της λίμνης.
Η ιστορία της πόλης χάνεται μέσα στους αιώνες . Το μουσείο αργυροχρυσοχοΐας .Η δημοτική πινακοθήκη.Το Μπιζάνι με τους Βαλκανικούς πολέμους του 1912 ,το νησάκι των Ιωαννίνων με το μουσείο του Αλη Πασά,Το βυζαντινό μουσείο με το τζαμί του Ασλάν Πασά ,και το Φετιχιέ Τζαμί.το αρχαιολογικό μουσείο με πλήθος αρχαιολογικών ευρημάτων από την εποχή του Πύρρου,ενώ το σπήλαιο του περάματος μας δείχνει δείγματα της προϊστορικής εποχής.

The city of Larisa is the capital of the province and is built on the very central area of the large plain on the right bank of Pineios river. It is one of the most significant commercial, agricultural and communication centers of Hellas. Larisa is a city that combines the remains and color of the long passed Turkish rule and the Ottoman culture, with the Hellenic cultural and architectural style of the beginnings of the 20th century. A city that also combines the tranquillity and the relaxed rhythm of the lazy river, the many storks that build their nests on the tallest buildings of the city and the sleepy movements of the river fishermen, along with the hubbub of a busy, bustling town. After many years of uncontrolled growing the city has managed, only recently, to restore a harmonic relationship with its river and the surrounding environment in general. The city's Post-Office's(Tachydromiou) square with its excellent sculptures, representing the branching, life-giving, ever-flowing water bulk of river Pineios, along with the site of the excavations of the ancient theater of the city, located at its very center, have caused a major transformation of the city, that brings it more close to its origins, bonds it tightly to the surrounding environment and restores its classic atmosphere. The ancient city of the theater had a capacity of 10000 spectators. But this excavation site may not be the city's most significant landmark. This title is most suitably given to the grave of Heppocrates, born in the island of Kos in 460 BC and died in the city of Larisa in 377 BC, who is considered to be the father of modern medicine. At the outskirts of the nearby town of Achileion the ruins of the local castle have been excavated. The ruins are dated back to the 15th century but the original compound was erected sometime during the late Neolithic period. The visit to the Folklore and Historic museum of the city may be proved to be most rewarding for the traveler. Also rewarding is a visit to the city's National Gallery with its fine collection of paintings, only second in significance after the National Gallery of Athens.

Matsouki is located on the mountains of Pindos at an altitude of 1100 meters between creeks and steep slopes. During the Ottoman domination around 1805, Ali Pasha wanted to destroy the area economically. The residents of Matsouki were forced to borrow money by loan sharks but the debts were unaffordable and many left in Agrafa.
In 1809 the people who reamained in Matsouki, decided to sell the village at Ali Pasha. Ali Pasha agreed the offer and promised to pay them 12 reticules. But he did not keep his word and he gave them only two reticules after becoming the owner of the village.
The monastery of Vilizas is one of the most important monasteries of the wider region. It was found during the Middle Byzantine period. The building that is preserved till today, dates back to the late 17th century.
There are invaluable icons and manuscripts of the 14th and 15th centuries in the library of the monastery that impress every visitor. Many manuscripts were removed in the museum of Vylissa in the village.
The wet element in the area gives a special dynamic to the landscape. The stream and the red river cross steep slopes and gorges and they become one near to the waterfall Kamili. Also, in Matsuki great interest has the stone bridge of Stafylla and the homonymous cave. Another impressive sight for the visitors is the Gouva Mare cave which was explored for the first time in 2017
Το Ματσούκι πολιορκημένο από τους ορεινούς όγκους της Πίνδου και την κορυφή της Καρκαδίτσας βρίσκεται σε υψόμετρο 1100 μέτρων ανάμεσα σε ρεματιές και απότομες πλαγιές.
Την περίοδο της Τουρκοκρατίας γύρω στο 1805 βάση σχεδίου ο Αλί Πασάς μεθόδευσε την οικονομική εξαθλίωση της περιοχής , οι Ματσουκιωτες αναγκαστήκαν να δανειστούν από τοκογλύφους όμως τα χρέη ήταν δυσβάσταχτα και πολλοί κάτοικοι έφυγαν για τα Άγραφα.
Το 1809 όσοι κάτοικοι απέμειναν παρουσιάστηκαν στο Αλί Πασά να πουλήσουν το χωριό συνολικά .Ο Αλί πασάς συμφώνησε στην αγοροπωλησία και υποσχέθηκε να τους καταβάλει 12 πουγκιά , δεν τήρησε όμως την συμφωνία και τους έδωσε μόνο δύο πουγκιά, αφού έγινε κύριος του χωριού .
Η μονή Βύλιζας είναι ένα από τα σημαντικότερα μοναστήρια της ευρύτερης περιοχής , Η ίδρυση του μοναστηριού ανάγεται στους μεσοβυζαντινούς χρόνους , το κτιριακό συγκρότημα που σώζεται σήμερα χρονολογείται στα τέλη του 17 αιώνα . Εντυπωσιάζουν οι εικόνες καθώς και η βιβλιοθήκη της μονής με χειρόγραφα του 14ου και 15ου αιώνα, πολλά από τα οποία θα τα βρείτε στο μουσείο της Βύλιζας μέσα στο χωριό.
Το υγρό στοιχείο στην περιοχή δίνει ιδιαίτερη δυναμική στο τοπίο, Το Ματσουκιωτικο ρέμα και ο κόκκινος ποταμός διασχίζουν απότομες πλαγιές και χαράδρες μέχρι να ενωθούν κοντά στον εντυπωσιακό Καταρράκτη Καμήλι , ενω ποιο κάτω συναντάμε το πέτρινο γεφύρι του Σταφυλά και την ομώνυμη σπηλιά Άλλο ένα σημείο ενδιαφέροντος είναι η σπηλιά Γκούβα μάρε που εξερευνήθηκε μόλις το 2017.
