Top Tours and Activities in Ioannina | Discover Greece

Nestled between dramatic mountains and the tranquil waters of Lake Pamvotis, Ioannina is a charming city in Greece’s Epirus region. With its rich past, lively atmosphere, and scenic surroundings, it is the perfect destination for travellers looking to experience authentic Greek culture and history. Stroll through its old quarter, admire Ottoman-era landmarks, and taste delicious local cuisine by the lakefront.

A Glimpse into the Past

Founded in ancient times, Ioannina flourished as a cultural and commercial hub, especially during the Byzantine and Ottoman eras. Its famous castle, built in the 6th century, still stands watch over the old town, while the legends of Ali Pasha add an air of mystery to its narrow streets.

When to Go

Spring and early autumn are ideal times to visit, when the weather is pleasantly mild, the city is bursting with flowers or vivid colours, and outdoor activities are at their best. Winters can be chilly, but the city’s lively cafés and cosy tavernas offer a warm welcome.

Is Ioannina worth visiting if I don’t speak Greek?

Absolutely! Many locals, especially those working in tourism, speak English. Visitors will find menus, signs, and guides available in English, making it easy to get around and enjoy their stay.
