A 30 to 90 minutes scenic drive,
apart from the wonderful city of Ioannina,
can lead you to numerous sites of historical
and cultural interest and of memorable natural beauty. Notwithstanding
Ioannina, home town of Ali Pasha, with its many shops, restaurants
and bars, you can visit the
Oracle and Ancient Theatre at Dodoni, Vrellis
Wax Figures Museum and the Louros river, with its trout
farms.
Also well worth
seeing, are the Tzoumerka Mountains with
the picturesque villages of Agnanda, Pramada,
Melissourgoi, Kalarrytes and the renowned
Syrrako, birthplace of Krystallis the
poet. The candlelight midnight mass of
Resurrection in the nearby Tsouka Monastery,
is a spiritual experience not to be missed.
The Zagori Villages, Vikos
Gorge, Papingo Mountain, Zitsa , Acheron
River (gate to the Underworld) and Souli make extremely
interesting day trips.
For sailing buffs, Captain Thodoris
can pick you up at Syvota and whisk you away in his boat for a
cruise around the Mythical Ionian
Islands, perfectly followed by an "interlude"
at the "Pyrrhos" suite of the hotel.
