class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ioannina is the capital of the Greek province of Epirus. The city has a history dating back to the 9th century, and in 1204 it gained importance as the main city of the province. Captured by the Serbs in 1345 and by the Turks in 1431, the city became a renowned centre of learning in the 18th and 19th centuries. In 1913, the city was conquered by the Greeks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ioannina is located on Lake Limni Ioanninon Pamvotida. We travelled here by motorhome, on our way from Igoumenitsa on the coast, on our way to Albania.<\/p><div class=\"freed-grupp-i-blogginlagg freed-entity-placement\" id=\"freed-513768696\"><div class=\"freed-adlabel\">Advertisement<\/div><div id=\"freed-slider-88752\" class=\"custom-slider freed-slider-1254188699 freed-slider\"><ul><li><div id=\"freed-3461839213\" class=\"method-missing not-front type-post not-theme-page\"><a data-no-instant=\"1\" href=\"https:\/\/se.adria-mobil.com\/\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"a2t-link\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"adria-freedom-top-banner-588x158px\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/adria-freedom-toppbanner-588x158px.gif\" alt=\"\"  width=\"588\" height=\"158\"   \/><\/a><\/div><\/li><li><div id=\"freed-3107082240\" class=\"method-missing not-front type-post not-theme-page\"><a data-no-instant=\"1\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ullbadden.se\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"a2t-link\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"ullbadden_588x158_feb_2026\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/ullbadden_588x158_feb_2026-1.jpg\" alt=\"\"  srcset=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/ullbadden_588x158_feb_2026-1.jpg 588w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/ullbadden_588x158_feb_2026-1-300x81.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/ullbadden_588x158_feb_2026-1-224x60.jpg 224w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/ullbadden_588x158_feb_2026-1-18x5.jpg 18w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/ullbadden_588x158_feb_2026-1-433x116.jpg 433w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 588px) 100vw, 588px\" width=\"588\" height=\"158\"   \/><\/a><\/div><\/li><\/ul><\/div><script>( window.advanced_ads_ready || jQuery( document ).ready ).call( null, function() {var $freedslider1254188699 = jQuery( \".freed-slider-1254188699\" );$freedslider1254188699.on( \"unslider.ready\", function() { jQuery( \"div.custom-slider ul li\" ).css( \"display\", \"block\" ); });$freedslider1254188699.unslider({ delay:4000, autoplay:true, nav:false, arrows:false, infinite:true });$freedslider1254188699.on(\"mouseover\", function() {$freedslider1254188699.unslider(\"stop\");}).on(\"mouseout\", function() {$freedslider1254188699.unslider(\"start\");});});<\/script><\/div>\n\n\n\t\t\t<div \n\t\t\tclass=\"wp-block-uagb-google-map uagb-google-map__wrap uagb-block-824d4a3a\"\n\t\t\tstyle=\"\" >\n\t\t\t\t<embed\n\t\t\t\t\tclass=\"uagb-google-map__iframe\"\n\t\t\t\t\ttitle=\"Google Map for \"\n\t\t\t\t\tsrc=\"https:\/\/maps.google.com\/maps?q=ioannina&#038;z=8&#038;hl=en&#038;t=m&#038;output=embed&#038;iwloc=near\"\n\t\t\t\t\twidth=\"640\"\n\t\t\t\t\theight=\"300\"\n\t\t\t\t\tloading=\"lazy\"\n\t\t\t\t><\/embed>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-vackra-vagar\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Vackra_vagar\"><\/span>Beautiful roads <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The scenery along the winding road from Igoumenitsa was beautiful and the only thing to look at, apart from the high mountains, were the little religious 'boxes' that were everywhere.
