Ioannina

Ioannina has served as an administrative and commercial centre in Epirus since the Byzantine era. Set beside Lake Pamvotis and enclosed by the Pindus mountains, the city is defined by its waterfront and the broad walls of Ioannina Castle, one of Greece’s oldest continuously inhabited Byzantine fortifications. The castle district recalls the rule of Ali Pasha in the early 19th century, while the town’s long-established silversmith tradition remains part of its identity. Boats link the lakeshore with the small inhabited island, known for its historic monasteries. Find related webcams across Epirus and Western Macedonia to build a fuller picture of Ioannina’s region.
