Arriving in Igoumenitsa - we visited a friend. Here is the local church:

Cloud games with the mountains:

We made the best of our trip to Thessaloniki, by stopping in Ioannina. Ioannina offered us some of the greek beauty. Highlight is the lake and the venetian wall. We took the boat to visit a little island in the lake. This island (with some 200 inhabitants) has some history in the greek revolution against the Ottoman empire - now you ll find monasteries and a small museum. We also had some tasty greek fish by the lake!!

This is a reaaaaally old tree (one can find such trees in many greek towns and villages - impressive):

We didn't have the time to visit Metsovo, the other touristic town of the area. Another time!

We arrived in Thessaloniki around 23.00.

THE END

PS We will post a general comments article soon.
