A small, charming hotel in the historic citadel of Ioannina, a bustling lakeside town in northwest Greece Here’s a little trivia test. Which 19th-century emperor earned the nickname ‘Napoleon of the east’, ruling over an ever-expanding slice of the Balkans with a fierce will? Where was his heavily-fortified court, famed for its culture and wealth, admired by Hugo and Byron? And what was the name of the girl who rejected his advances, embraced his son’s, and ended up being tied in a sack and drowned in the lake with 16 virgins? If you just reeled off the names of Ali Pasha, Ioannina and Euphrosyne, then congratulations - you deserve a holiday where it all happened, visiting the mosques and museums where once his court stood, taking boat rides across that mysterious lake, exploring the island where Ali met his death, and staying in a wonderful little hotel in the heart of his citadel. If you scored one or two out of three, then clearly you need a refresher course. And if you haven’t got a clue what we are talking about, then why not discover a completely new slice of European culture and landscape? read more and book at i-escape
