It is a museum about the Greek history and especially the one of the years Greece was in the othoman empire. The magnificent idea is that all the exhibits are waxworks of Greek heroes that reconstruct moments of Greek history! An enjoybale and educational experience for kids. The museum is housed in a 18th century style building that is a masterpiece of arcitecture. It is south of the city, approximately 10 minutes drive from the city centre.

It is a must for those who love design hotels! ₤155 per night.

It is one of the best preserved monuments of baroque in Europe, but unfortunately only few know and are able to enjoy this true masterpiece. It is a fairly large church near the Charles bridge in Prague. From the outside it does not look that impressive but once you are inside you are lost for words. I hope more English go for the architecture of this beautiful city rather than cheap beer; they just miss the point of being in Prague!

The gay village it is a quite large area of bars, clubs, restaurants and shops in the heart of Manchester. As its name gives away, it is the No 1 place for a gay night out! The reason this place is special is because all the bars are next to the canal and it is the most beautiful place during the summer to sit outside. The atmosphere is great, because it is not only for gay people but for everyone and it is so friendly. You can find any kind of bar there, posh, trendy or traditional pubs. It is exactly how a gay village should be: inclusive.

In the heart of Manchester, everyone knows it! A short walk from Piccadilly train station.

One of the best hotels I have ever stayed in, minutes from the lively and full of stylish people city centre. I felt like I was in heaven, fantastic service and huge bedrooms and bathrooms. One of the good things is that it is a short drive from the ancient theatre of Dodoni and about 35 minutes from the Ioanian sea for sanbathing and swimming. Don't forget the amazing and traditional food, excellent.

This is a must for all those willing to try a special type of regional cooking that involves heaping red-hot embers over a gastra - the conical cast-iron lid that's lowered onto the baking dish holding the food (lamb, goat, pork, or chicken), which then roasts slowly to appear on your table as an especially succulent meal. It's delicious. Main courses €6-€18.

If you have only one meal to eat in Ioannina, it has to be at one of the restaurants on the islet out in the lake. Greek cuisine, mainly seafood, reasonably priced. You can choose your fish on the spot and a bit later you can eat it! It can not be any fresher. Main courses €5-€15.

Take the ferry from the lake front to the islet and it is very easy to find from there. People will love to help you to find it.

It is one of the best guesthouses in the conservation area of Zagoria in Ioannina and more specifically in the small village of Vitsa. It is newly built in traditional style and it is spotless! I love the place for the friendly atmosphere, the excellent traditional cuisine, especially those pies, and that it offers the best of both worlds - shopping, museums and nighlife in Ioannina on one side and river fishing, country walking and climbing on the other. It is only a 20 minute drive from the city and very cheap. Rooms from €48 per night, 3 stars.

It is a 5-star luxurious hotel just outside the city that is ideal for visits to the Dodoni ancient theatre, the Vrelli Museum of the waxworks and one day trips to the Ionian Sea for swimming and sunbathing (approx. 35 minutes drive). Excellent service, gorgeous food and amazing facilities, plus many of the Greek A list stars have stayed here. The prices are quite reasonable, especially considering that Ioannina is not a cheap place, it is actually one of the most expensive places in Greece.

It is a group of 44 traditional villages that are brilliantly preserved. Hidden away in the Pindos Mountains, some miles north of the city of Ioannina and they are known as Zagorochoria or Zagoria. The majority of the area is heavily wooded, surrounded by a truly exciting geography, showing a remarkable diversity for such a quite small area. Imposing mountains, luxuriant valleys are interspersed with rivers, waterfalls and lakes, such as the dragon lake, in an altitude of 6,500ft. Around every corner there are dramatic cliffs and breathtaking traditional stone bridges. Everything is gorgeous but nothing like the outstanding beauty of the Vikos Gorge, reputedly Europe's largest gorge.
