Delightful and easily manageable museum centrally located (opposite the main gate to the castle and old city. Interesting and helpful descriptions of artifacts, collected lovingly by the scholar who collected many of the artifacts and who was kind enough to acts as a our guide. He stressed the presence over the centuries of diverse ethnic and religious groups: Christian, Muslim and Jewish. Highly recommended.

Reviewed By pauliner549 - Valley Stream, United States

This whole experience was amazing ! It is a part of this beautiful city’s history that leaves you mesmerized! As a woman from Long Island New York, I was surprised at how interested I became once arriving on this island and entering the home of Ali Bashas my husband is from ioaninna but I never thought I would feel this way! I highly recommend anyone who visits Greece to go to Ioaninna and take the little ferry boat to this intriguing island Sadly, I cannot revisit Greece this summer because the coronavirus has put a ban on Americans entering Europe I pray I can return next summer!!!!
