Guide to Ioannina
A mountainous region with an exquisite natural environment.
Majestic mountains, deep gorges, crystal-clear rivers, rare flora and fauna, mountain lakes, and forested slopes all come together to create a stunningly beautiful ecosystem. The history of the region is also long and fascinating, starting from the depths of antiquity, passing through Byzantium and the Turkish occupation and ending up in modern times. One can witness the region’s history in the archaeological and religious monuments, the traditional settlements, the watermills and bridges, a history which lives on in the region’s customs, traditional music and festivals, as well as the lifestyle of its inhabitants.
Epirus also has a rich culinary tradition, which is based on use of pure produce. Meat cooked in special local recipes, tasty pies, sour dough bread, frogs’ legs, game, including venison carpaccio, famous cheeses, traditional sweets, such as baklava, and exceptional wines and tsipouro (local pomace spirit), all go to make up a menu that combines tradition with gourmet cuisine.
