We start our Private tour to Ioannina taking the ferry from Corfu To Igoumenitsa (trip
duration 1.5 – 2 hours). Upon arrival, we drive to the city of Ioannina. Ioannina is one of
Northern Greece’s most atmospheric cities. It is set on the western shore of the lovely Lake
Pamvotis, and framed by the impressive mountain range that turns lilac at sunset.

A walk through the city has the feel of a bygone era, full of secret places and legends still
living. Wonderful buildings like the House Matei Hussein, the Ottoman mosque of Veli Pasha
and the entire historic centre of the town are unique attractions.

Stop At: Ioannina, Ioannina, Ioannina Region, Epirus

The imposing castle of Ioannina was built in 528 AD by the Emperor Justinian, and was an
ambitious expression of the might of the Byzantine Empire. It is the oldest Byzantine fortress
in Greece with significant influence over the history of the town which grew around it.
The routes around the lake offer exquisite scenery and plenty to explore. A tour by car is an
experience to suit all kinds of traveller – there is much to see, much to learn about, and there
is the serene calming effect of the lake. The expression to “live like the Pasha in Ioannina” means that a person is enjoying the
absolute best that life has to offer. It is not enough to have the title of ruler; he also has to live
in Ioannina. It is the distillation, in colloquial terms, of the idea that Ioannina was always a
wealthy and aristocratic city. Trip can take from 8 to 12 hours according to group’s needs.
At the end of our Private tour to Ioannina we head back to Igoumenitsa and take the ferry for
Corfu.

Duration: 5 hours
