The lake of Ioannina is very beautiful as long as there is no fog, which is rare for you to be able to see it. But even with fog it has a special beauty. Ducks and swans add an extra touch of beauty. You can also cross it by boat and go across to the islet. The ticket was 2 euros per person per route. It has cafes along the lake and horse-drawn carriages!

We visited the islet of Ioannina as a family of four. All the sights were very beautiful and interesting! We did not like the food in the tavern we ate in the main square as there was no quality in the food and the portions were relatively poor for their cost! We also bought sweets from the first shop you come across as soon as you arrive. But you try and others sell you.
In general, only the landscape and the museum of the island were worth it.

Very nice lake. Take a small ferry to the island every 30 minutes. It takes 45 minutes to walk around the island. There are three monasteries. In one of them the chapel is beautiful inside and deserted. A magical place. The Ali Museum is also nice to visit.

One of the best waterski sites in the world which plays host to major international competitions. An island with a great start dock. Showers and a huge shaded tent surrounded by trees.
Superbly well run competitions.

Excellent view, but also a walk to enjoy the lake and the landscape with the magnificent trees!! It is definitely worth a trip to the island by boat! Unique destination for all seasons!!
Parking is free! There are many shops where you can eat, but also enjoy your coffee! Expensive prices!

The island is a nice place but to crowded. The stores on the island offer al kind of food and drinks on the street for free, in the hope to sell you some. We bought some tsipouro with a cinnamon taste. When we opened the bottle at home the taste was for sure not the same as the one we tasted on the streets, no alcohol what so ever. We felt ripped of.

It is simply a Must to make a boat Trip on the lake and to visit the beautiful tiny Island, with lot of locations e.g.the place, where Ali Pasha was killed by the ottomanian Army.

The Lake is incredibly beautiful no matter what time you are there. Depending on the weather the colour of the sky changes and the feeling too. We must have come here more than 5 times through the years.
You never get tired walking around the lake which is so nice and relaxing. If you have time, try watching the lake without noticing the time!
Ideal time to visit, personally for me is early in the morning as it is really peaceful.
You come across locals walking, others trying to catch fish, but the highlight of this early stroll are the sounds of birds of the lake. Seagulls and mallards fly over the lake making the view breathtaking.

Don't expect to see the clear waters of the Ionian Sea, nevertheless it was worth a few hours and two Euros for the ferry ride to the island.

Do all the boats and ferries to the island depart from Ioannina town?
Are there other boats that leave from the Northern part of the lake, wich is very, very near the island?

I wandered if Moira flew out to this area and or drove as I was looking at this area out of interest and trying to find best way to get there slightly off season?
My wife and i are learning Greek and would like to travel around the main land area and this Lake was featured in one of my lessons but was disappointed with the comment that it is a little " 0ff colour "
