IOANNINA AND ALI PASHA






John and I had to free park here on the quay as there are no campsites. Ioannina is a pleasant place beautifully situated on the shores of a lake surrounded by mountains and Greek passes famous for brigands. It is also famous for Aslan Pasha and Ali Pasha who built the mosques and palaces here. We really enjoyed our stay here and also found a good internet cafe where we spent many useful hours and had supper on the extras provided with coffee.
I wish we had had more time to understand both Greek and Turkish history and culture.
My current internet access is so weak that I am only uploading one image for each blog but will keep trying.
