Additional Information
The city of Ioannina is steeped in legend. These folklore narratives often shroud the city’s lake and its central island in an aura of mystery. The legends in this case, don’t tell tales of gods and heroes, but of historical figures. The most prominent among them being Ali Pasha, the unconventional 19th-century Turko-Albanian leader and his court. Such legends are deeply integrated with Ioannina’s past, in this segment of Western Greece. Additional legends pervade the ancient, fortified neighborhood, the Kastro, the Its Kale stronghold, the Byzantine monasteries on the Island and the elaborate museums.
