Ioannina Day Tour & Cooking Class
In the morning, you will have breakfast then be greeted by your local guide who will take you around the city for the morning/early afternoon. The tour features the castle of Ioannina, which is the oldest in Greece and was first constructed as part of the fortification project of the Byzantine Emperor Justinian. It later became Ali Pasha’s headquarters and the biggest administrative centre of Greece during the Ottoman rule. The rest of the tour is spent wandering around the winding streets and markets, with plenty of history and culture seen within. This city has a great reputation for its silversmiths which have traveled beyond Greece's borders for centuries. The items were so unique, they became known in history as being among Europe's finest. Once you've toured the city, you will then be taken to your cooking class, which will explore the exceptional cuisine of the Epirus Region. Get ready to make the best pie of your life, as you prepare this dish with the finest ingredients known to Greece. The Greeks use their food to communicate and connect people, and they build lasting memories with the flavours that go into their meals.
