We are still amazed by the arched bridges in the Zagori region. Here is just one more!
There are several excellent museums in Ioannina. We visited the Archaeological Museum today. It’s always interesting to see how docents in other museums manage groups of children. There are plenty of open spaces here so kids can view artifacts and then sit for a hands-on activity and discussion.
A new museum near our hotel is the Silversmithing Museum housed in the castle of Ioannina. The exhibits are nicely presented and we learned much about the history and technology of silversmithing!
This afternoon there are dark clouds over the city and thunderstorms are possible. The black metal cage to the left side of the mosque is the gravesite of hero/villain Ali Pasha.
We’ve found lots to do and see in Ioannina and nearby. Our hotel is on a quiet street and this is our route as we return from dinner. Older ladies in the neighborhood greet us, ask where we’re from, do we have children…it’s very nice.
Tomorrow we’ll pack up our small VW rental car and drive 4 hours to the seaside village of Afissos!
