　　Set inside the Aslan Pasha Mosque (1619), the museum exhibits local costumes and period photographs, along with tapestries and prayer shawls from Ioannina's Jewish community, which numbered some 7000 people at its peak in the 19th century. The grounds of the mosque (free to enter during museum hours) include a ruined madrasa and idyllic lake views from this high point.

Must-see attractions
Its Kale
Ioannina
　　A more heavily fortified section within the Kastro, the Its Kale (Inner Castle) today feels less like a citadel than a city park. Inside the ramparts, on grassy lawns, are two museums, a cafe and the restored Fethiye Cami (Victory Mosque), built in 1611 after a failed Greek uprising that...
Moni Filanthropinon
Ioannina
　　This monastery, active at least since the 13th century, bursts with flowers and is tended by kindly nuns – in stark contrast with its church, in which one wall is filled floor to ceiling with severed limbs, rolling heads and every other grisly mode of martyrdom in Christian history. Just...
Ioannina Island
Ioannina
　　In the middle of the lake, the reed-encircled patch of land locals just call To Nisi (The Island) is a pretty, peaceful destination, whether you just want a boat ride and a stroll on some car-free streets, or you're up for sightseeing, at the interesting little Ali Pasha Museum, the...
Silversmithing Museum
Ioannina
　　Although the centre of Ioannina no longer rings with the distinctive tapping hammers of the city's famous artisans, that sound and their trade are preserved in this excellent museum. Built into the wall of the citadel, the two-level exhibit space shows the whole process of silver work and tells the...
Perama Cave
Ioannina
　　Just around the edge of the lake from central Ioannina, this cave is among Greece’s largest and most impressive. Discovered by accident in 1940 by residents fleeing bomb attacks, 1100m of its fairy-tale passageways can be explored on hourly guided tours (45 minutes, in Greek and English). Knowledgeable guides come...
Pavlos Vrellis Wax Museum of Greek History
Ioannina
　　From a purely artistic standpoint, this is a remarkable museum of wax figures that are so uncannily good they transcend kitsch. The sculptor Vrellis, who died in 2010 and left behind this life's work, was a true master. From a practical standpoint, it's a frustrating place if you're not versed...
Lake Pamvotis Information Center
Ioannina
　　Learn about Ioannina Island's natural world – and how humans have worked with it for centuries – at this two-storey exhibit space. After a quick visit, you're better equipped to spot birds and other wildlife on a stroll around the 'back' of the island – just follow the little paved...
