The island, although small, carries a great history. The Ali Pasha Museum revives the last act of the Ottoman feudal lord, writes Protothema.

Ioannina has a simple vitality: the market is always full, the cafes are almost never empty, and the taverns spread aromas that make even the most demanding traveler stop.

And it is no coincidence that Ioannina is considered one of the newest conference destinations in Greece, as it is also a destination chosen by large foreign companies.
