We are leaving for Christmas in Magnificent Ioannina 07.55 by Constitution and 08.00 from Omonia for the height of Kiatos where we will make our first stop. Then we head to Rio Antirrio and continue to Bizani where we will have an optional visit to the wax museum with unique historical exhibits. In the museum we obtain unique historical knowledge from the hidden school, Ali Pasha and Mrs. Frosyne. Upon our arrival in Ioannina, we head straight to the lake where we will cross by boat to the island of Mrs. Frosinia. There we will have time for lunch at a local tavern and the opportunity why not to try frog legs. Free time to walk and visit the house or the museum where Ali Pasha was killed. Later Return to Ioannina with an optional visit to the city's castle containing the Fetiye Mosque, the Tomb of Ali Pasha and the Byzantine Museum. Also, we would also recommend you to visit the Silversmithing Museum, in Its Calais, in the acropolis of Ioannina. Browse through them and finally we end up at the hotel.

After our morning meal we depart for Konitsa. Then we head to: Burazani, an area rich in flora and fauna where the waters of Aoos meet, of Voidomatis and Sarantaporos. Next is the village of Molyvdoskepasti, built on a slope of Mount Memertika on the Greek-Albanian border. There we will visit Panagia Molyvdoskepasti, one of the most important monuments of the 7th century located four hundred meters from the Greek-Albanian border. Then we continue to the town of Konitsa where we will have an optional visit to the house of Agios Paisios. The House is Perched on a cobblestone, in the center of Konitsa, Ioannina, where he lived since he was a child. Entering the house one will see the hall, a small sitting room and a small room in which you feel a strange peace. The whole family slept there. The presence of the Saint is felt everywhere. His personal belongings take you on a journey into the past. We continue our tour in Konitsa where we will have free time for coffee and food. The area has many stone bridges, one of them is the Konitsa bridge (or Voidomati) of 1853 where we will admire up close the banks of the Voidomatis river, which crosses one of the most beautiful locations in Greece, which has been designated a National Park by 1973. Late afternoon return to Ioannina for rest and overnight.
Αφού απολαύσουμε το πρωινό μας γεύμα θα αναχωρήσουμε για το Κεντρικό Ζαγόρι. Η πρώτη μας επίσκεψη θα είναι στην Ιερά Μονή Γεννήσεως της Θεοτόκου Ασπραγγέλων που χτίστηκε το 1470 and is located 23 χιλιόμετρά Βόρεια των Ιωαννίνων, σε ένα υψόμετρο 880 μέτρων που έχει ως θέα τον κάμπο της Ζίτσας. Στο χώρο του μοναστηριού θησαυρίζονται ιερά λείψανα διαφόρων αγίων, but also the miraculous icon of Panagia Odegetria (Asprageliotissa), which was found after the earthquake in the year 2016 στην κόγχη του Ιερού βήματος και από τότε δεν έχει παύσει να ιατρεύει πλήθος καρκινοπαθών, while she has yet brought forth children to barren families. Στη συνέχεια οδεύουμε για το γραφικό χωριό των Ζαγορίων το Μονοδένδρι που δεσπόζει στη χαράδρα του Βίκου με την μοναδική πέτρινη αρχιτεκτονική των οικημάτων όπου θα έχουμε παραμονή για γεύμα. Όποιος επιθυμεί μέσω μιας σύντομης πεζοπορίας μπορεί να επισκεφτεί την Μονή Αγίας Παρασκευής όπου από το μικρό μπαλκόνι της θα δούμε με κομμένη την ανάσα το απόκοσμο θέαμα της χαράδρας του Βίκου, ένα από τα μεγαλύτερα και βαθύτερα φαράγγια του κόσμου. Στην πλατεία του χωριού μπορούμε να απολαύσουμε το καφέ μας, η να δοκιμάσουμε τις καλύτερες ζαγορίτικες πίτες. ύστερα Επιστρέφουμε στην πόλη των Ιωαννίνων όπου θα έχετε ελεύθερο χρόνο να περπατήσετε, να πάρετε το μεσημεριανό σας γεύμα και ότι ώρα επιθυμείτε επιστρέψετε στο ξενοδοχείο όπου είναι μέσα στην πόλη. End Overnight
Μετά το πρωινό μας γεύμα αναχωρούμε για την μαγική Καλαμπάκα και τα Τρίκαλα. Στην ονειρική πόλη των Τρικάλων θα επισκεφθούμε το Μύλο Ξωτικών όπου επανέρχεται και γίνεται Green & Smart. Those who have visited Trikala during the Christmas season in recent years, they will surely have found themselves at Mylos Xotikon, which is the largest free Christmas theme park in Greece. Every year it takes its visitors to a fairytale dimension and from the first moment it gives millions of smiles, free actions and countless surprises. Like every year, this year too, a new story that will travel young and old to a fairytale and magical world is being revived in Trikala.
