Lake Yanina, Greece

Interesting places in Greece

Lake Yanina is located in the central part of the nominee Janina, the region of Epirus. The average depth is less than 7 meters, the maximum depth is 11 meters. The length of the lake is up to 7.5 km, the width is up to 5 km. The height of the mirror is 470 meters above sea level.
On the western shore of the lake is the city of Ioannina, on the north - the settlement of Perama. The northern shore is a small island. North of the lake is Mizikeli Mountain.
Many streams flow into Lake Yanina, but it itself has no apparent source.


I was there in May. There was a very good weather. It was like a real summer. I started to meet with the lake in Ioannina city.

Ioannina is a very beautiful and picturesque city, combining historical memories with the reality of a modern metropolis. Located at an altitude of 480 m., On the western shore of a large lake, it is an important commercial, transport and cultural center of northwestern Greece, as well as the capital of the Epirus District.

It is impossible not to be interested in the districts of the city with their historical and cultural significance. Here lived the legendary Ali Pasha and Kira Frosini, and the picturesque streets of the castle recall the Byzantine past and the history of recent years.

One of the main attractions of this amazing and mysterious city is a small island located in the middle of the lake, which is currently inhabited. Here is the famous monastery of St. Panteleimon, where the legendary Alipa Pasha was hiding and was killed in 1822.

The archaeological museum of Ioannina stores finds from all over the continent, in particular fragments of the ancient Greek Oracle, Dodona.

Lake Yanina or "Pavmotida" is located between the cities of Yanina and Mitsikeli and is the largest lake in the Epirus region.

Nowadays, Ioannina is a rapidly developing city of students and military men, famous for its whole Greece with its feta cheese and mineral water "Zagori", as well as silver ornaments, shops with which can be found on the central street of Averoff, right at the exit from the fortress.


I spent a light in small place named Perama. It's like a suburb of Ioannina city. But Perama is not only a suburb. It's a very interesting place to see. At first it's a big cave. In addition, Perama is the center of the craft for processing silver.
Almost every house has a workshop for the production of silverware. They make salaries for icons.
