Ioannina town, its lake (Pamvotis Lake) and the little island in the lake (in the foreground), one of the two inhabited lake islands in Greece (the other one is Aghios Achileios in Mikri Prespa lake) and one of the very few inhabited lake islands of the world. Ioannina is surely one of my Top-3 destinations in Greece, especially for winter vacations, not only because of the beauty of the town and the lake, but because around the town you can visit some of the most beautiful mountainous regions of Greece, such as Zagorohoria, Metsovo and Tzoumerka. Photo taken from the road that leads to the martyric village of Ligiades, the "Balcony of Ioannina". LOCATION: Ioannina, Epirus, Greece.

If you want to visit the small island of Lake Pamvotis (or "Pamvotida"- Ioannina, Epirus, Greece) and its beautiful village you can take one of the small tourist boats that sail from the Mall, the beautiful lakeside road of Ioannina town. But if you want to enter to the unique atmosphere of the island, even before reaching there, you 'll have to go to the other side of the lake, in a place called Drabatova and ask from one of the inhabitants of the island or the fishermen of the lake to take you with them on a traditional wooden boat, called "plava".

In the old town of Ioannina (Epirus, Greece) , that is surrounded by huge and well preserved walls you can see a lot of interesting things, among them two mosques. One of them is the Fetihye Mosque, the one you see here, "through" the tomb of Ali Pasha.

Early night view of Syrrako village, Tzoumerka mountains, Ioannina, Epirus, Greece. In my humble opinion, THE most beautiful Greek mountainous village with amazing traditional architecture in a fantastic location!

The lakeside road of Ioannina, is an open air art exhibition, all kinds of artwork and sculptures are lined up beside Pamvotis ("Pamvotida") lake. Epirus, Greece. The title comes from a song by Tom Waits "Well, the moon is broken and the sky is cracked Come on up to the house The only things that you can see is all that you lack Come on up to the house All your crying don't do no good Come on up to the house Come down off the cross, we can use the wood You gotta come on up to the house Come on up to the house Come on up to the house The world is not my home I'm just a-passing through You got to come on up to the house There's no light in the tunnel, no irons in the fire Come on up to the house And you're singing lead...

Lonely man sitting on a bench at the lakeside road of Ioannina city (Epirus, Greece). Seems hopeless. Like many, many of my fellow countrymen feel over these last years.

Theogefyro (it means "God's bridge" or "Holy bridge"), a true natural wonder, close to Lithino village,Municipality of Zitsa, Ioannina, Epirus, Greece. It is a natural, arched bridge (NOT man made), crossing river Kalamas. Camera: Canon EOS 1Ds Mark III

Cormorants resting at the lake of Ioannina (Epirus, Greece). The lake of Ioannina ("Pamvotis" or "Pamvotida" lake) is beautiful with all kinds of weather, throughout the year. But when fog falls, so "thick" that you can "cut it with a knife" (as we Greeks say) then everything seems to "dematerialize", every things "out of time, out of space".
