A place in Greece often missed by visitors

Most of the tourists who come Greece come to see Athens, the Peloponnese and maybe 1 of its islands, so there is a big part unknown to most people and lovely. One place is Ioannina. It is the capital of Epirus and is a must to get to the Vikos-Aoos National Park, which is where I was going . We found a big lake in the city. I recommend a stroll because you can get incredible views, as it is surrounded by mountains. Maybe being next to a lake Ioannina offers an overwhelming tranquility, even though the streets are always filled with people, especially young people who come here for college. Another jewel of this place is its Kastro or old.

It is full of very narrow streets where can find many traditional Ottoman buildings and 2 mosques. It also has lovely gardens where we can relax and enjoy the beauty of the place. The Kastro also a Byzantine museum that was the former palace of Ali Pasha (a very important character in this city that was adventurous). Personally I was shocked because Ioannina was the first city I saw in Greece by ferry when I entered Hegumenitsa, and I do not expect to see much change from our country. In Ioannina one can find pure nature and of both the traditions and history of this Mediterranean country.

Many things to see and do here.

Excellent

Many sights as well as a plethora of cafés and restaurants. Don't forget to taste the local specialities and the amazing sweets. Visit the castle and why not have a coffee there. Make sure that you will also visit the nearby island and taste the local food. Many things to see and do there too.
