Whilst you’re a long way inland, you can still enjoy a day at the beach by heading down to the shores of Lake Pamvotis where you can swim or just sunbathe on the popular beaches. You can visit the little island in the lake called Nisaki by the locals. There, you’ll find the monastery of Agios Panteleimon and the museum dedicated to the Ottoman regional ruler Ali Pasha, a resident of the island who waited there for a pardon from the Sultan.

Ioannina Castle is big and has streets within it. It’s fun trying to get around the maze of alleyways to find your way back to your car and the narrow streets offer some protection from the heat of the day.
