Asfaka Ioanninon 4K
Asfaka is a mountainous settlement in the prefecture of Ioannina and belongs to the Municipality of Zitsa. It has an altitude of 501 meters and is located almost in the middle of the prefecture in the former province of Dodoni, on the western slopes of Mount Mitsikeli.
The village is located at the foot of Mitsikeli and is 17 km from the city of Ioannina. The name of the village comes from the old place name of the area where the asfakes abound (elefiphaskos - shrub).
After the Asia Minor catastrophe, hundreds of thousands of inhabitants of the Pontus and Asia Minor regions were forced to leave their homelands, where they had been rooted for thousands of years, and to settle in various parts of Greece. The first inhabitants settled in the area in 1924, coming from Central Asia after the persecution of 1922.
