Built at an altitude of 500m above sea level, on the shores of Lake Pamvotida, with the trademark island in the centre of the Lake, the city of Ioannina is the main administrative and commercial centre of the region of Epirus.
The visitor’s first impression is of a bustling city with lots of new buildings, broad streets, parks, contemporary tourist infrastructure, universities and public buildings. But the history of the place is never far away – a history measured in thousands, not hundreds, of years. Each narrow street, each square, each minaret, each Turkish veranda is redolent of tradition, of the legends of Ali Pasha and Kyra-Frosyni, adding a note of melancholy to the misty ambiance so characteristic of the city. Ioannina and the broader Epirus region are among the oldest inhabited areas in Greece. The Palaeolithic finds in the area of Kastritsa, dating back 40,000 years, the sanctuary of Dodone, the exploits of Pyrrhus, ruler of the Epirot tribe of the Molossi - these are just some of the milestones in the long history of the city, which only became part of the modern Greek state in 1912-13.
