\u0399\u03c9\u03ac\u03bd\u03bd\u03b9\u03bd\u03b1 – Zagoria region in Epirus<\/h1>\n
\n

I<\/span>oannina is a good springboard to the Zagoria region as well as a most beautiful town to visit in itself. Perhaps not so much a walking destination but strolling along the lakeside promenade is absolutely wonderful. Birdwatching is also mandatory \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

T<\/span>he town can also be great for eating and drinking typical Greek fare. I absolutely loved the many varieties of retsina that was on offer.<\/p>\n

Selected walks:<\/b> No guide or map is really needed.<\/p>\n

\n\u20221<\/span> LAKESIDE (approx. 3h): This walk\/stroll as I did it use the promenade as far as it goes then continuing on a walking path and bicycle road\/street. After that a gravel road will continue around the southeastern end of the lake. Where this road turn sharply inland and leaves the lake I turned back. This is around the 6-7 km mark.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\u2022 How to get there: \u2022 By air (charter) is by far the easiest<\/p>\n
