Ioannidis Guesthouse Reviews

Description

In Large Papigo you will find the guesthouse Ioannidis.

The building operates as a hostel since 1980 under the requirements of the EOT. Built before 1813, and has been completely renovated internally with respect to its traditional character.

Its privileged location offers wonderful views to both the settlement and to the impressive volume of Astraka: when the weather permits, there is nothing better than an aromatic coffee in the courtyard!

Ioannidis Guesthouse has 7 rooms of two, three and four beds, with central heating, private bathroom and TV.

They are all built in a traditional style, each one with its own unique personal character:
for example the room with its special handmade blue ceiling, or the room with the old barrel (made on the spot in 1813!).

There are also rooms with a fireplace, and in all of them you will enjoy, not only the warm atmosphere made by the stone, the wood and the handmade rugs,
but also the great view of the village and Astraka Mountain.

In the kitchen you can find all that you need to make yourself a cup of coffee!

Location and Contact

Location

• Location:
• The two villages -Megalo (Big) Papigo and Mikro (Small) Papigo- with their pavements and the stone made houses are offered for long walks and relaxation, while the warm hospitality of the little shops waits for you, with hot drinks and homemade pies.
• In Megalo Papigo you can visit the church of S.Vlasios (built on 1852 in the place of the older one of 912) with its 15m high hexagonal bell tower. In Mikro Papigo there is the church of Taxiarhes, which is a national landmark.
• Walking on the old path that connects Megalo Papigo and Mikro Papigo, at Lakkos you will find the one-stringer stone bridge, made in 1854. Between the two villages at Rogovo, the river has formed at its bed some round-shaped cavities that are similar to very small lakes. The 'ovires' or pools are where, during the summer anyway, visitors can enjoy a swim in the cold water!
• Those who love walking, they can visit Drakolimni (at 2.050m), Gamila (at 2.497m), the top of Astraka mountain (at 2.437m). Or the mountain lodge (at 1.950m). The paths to Vikos Gorge, or from the fountain of Voidomatis to Vikos Village or to Monodendri, also start from Papigo. Lovers of water sport can cross the Vikos Gorge by rafting, kayaking or canoeing on the Voidomatis river, from the bridge of Papigo to the bridge of Klidonia in Konitsa .
• Directions:
• Leave Ioannina with direction to the aeroport and through the "Ioannina - Kozani" National road. After the village of Kalpaki, you turn right to 'Mesovouni - Astraka - Papigo'.
• The drive from the city of Ioannina to Papigo will take about 1 hour to 1 hour and 15 minutes. You can also refer to the attached maps.
