IONINNA

Next morning we set off for Ionnina some 90km away from Sivota on an amazing new highway. We passed mountains, forests and blossoming cherry trees. There was even a toll of 2.40E.

Snow covered mountains in the distance

The city is large with many facilities and although we were there to explore, we barely had time to enjoy the coffee by the lake and wander around the busy streets. Once again our tourist skills are not that fantastic, we have the best intentions but seem to always succumb to the yiros and coffee shops.

Enjoying the ambience

The renovated old buildings are coming back to life in the most striking way. The shop below shows how an old ruin can be modernised.

We headed back to beautiful Sivota and spent the rest of the evening relaxing by the water.
