| Description |
The Lake of Ioannina (Greek: Limni Ioanninon (????? ?????????)), also Pamvotida (?????????, older form: Pamvotis ????????) is Epirus' largest lake located near the central part of the Ioannina prefecture in Greece. Ioannina to the west and the town or Perama to the north are urban settlements fringing the lake while the remaining of its periphery is composed of farmland. The lake features small fishing ports and a boating port while the island is situated in the east of the lake. There is a regular boat service to the island (Nisi). Mountains lie further north and south with Mitsikeli overhanging the east part of the lake. The GR-6 surrounds the northern half of the lake (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lake_Ioannina) |
