Athens to Ioannina, Greece trip! Places to visit and hotel to stay | Lake Pamvotis, Museums, Cave

Ioannina (Greek: Ιωάννινα) often called Yannena (Γιάννενα Yánnena) within Greece, is the capital and largest city of the Ioannina regional unit and of Epirus, an administrative region in northwestern Greece. Founded by emperor justinian in the 6th century, the presence of Jews is already noted by the 7th century. These were Greek speaking Jews known as Romaniotes and have a continued presence in the history of the city. In 1431 Ioannina fell under the rule of the Ottoman Empire for the next 500 years.
The region of Ioannina has been populated by Greeks since the Mycenaean era, but the City of Ioannina often called Yannena, was formally founded by the Byzantine Emperor Justinian in the 6th century AD and is the capital and largest city of the region of Epirus with a population of 112,486 (in 2011 census).
According to the 2021 census, the city population was 64,896 while the municipality had 113,978 inhabitants. It lies at an elevation of approximately 500 metres (1,640 feet) above sea level, on the western shore of Lake Pamvotis (Παμβώτις). Ioannina is located 410 km (255 mi) northwest of Athens, 260 kilometres (162 miles) southwest of Thessaloniki and 80 km (50 miles) east of the port of Igoumenitsa on the Ionian Sea.
Lake Pamvotida or Pamvotis (Greek: Λίμνη Παμβώτιδα/Παμβώτις[1]), commonly also Lake of Ioannina (Greek: Λίμνη των Ιωαννίνων, Limni ton Ioanninon) is the largest lake of Epirus, located in the central part of the Ioannina regional unit in northern Greece. The regional capital Ioannina to the west and the town of Perama to the north are urban settlements fringing the lake while the remaining of its periphery is composed of farmland. The lake features small fishing ports and a boating port. There is a regular boat service to the Ioannina Island. The Greek National Road 6 surrounds the northern half of the lake.
Other content in this video includes:
The Rio-Antirrio Bridge (Greek: Γέφυρα Ρίου-Αντιρρίου), officially the Charilaos Trikoupis Bridge, is one of the world's longest multi-span cable-stayed bridges and longest of the fully suspended type. It crosses the Gulf of Corinth near Patras, linking the town of Rio on the Peloponnese peninsula to Antirrio on mainland Greece by road. It opened one day before the Athens 2004 Summer Olympics, on 12 August 2004, and was used to transport the Olympic flame.
Nafpaktos (Greek: Ναύπακτος) is a town and a former municipality in Nafpaktia, Aetolia-Acarnania, West Greece, situated on a bay on the north coast of the Gulf of Corinth, 3 km (2 mi) west of the mouth of the river Mornos. Nafpaktos is a large seaside town on the north shore of the Corinthian Gulf with a long beach
and an impressive Venetian castle that includes a small fortified harbor.
It was an important Athenian naval base during the Peloponnesian War
due to its proximity to the western entrance of the gulf.
