With some terrific road trip options available in the surrounding area, renting a car makes good sense. Without one, it wouldn’t be half as easy to experience all that Ioannina, 30 miles away, has to offer. Among the first stops you make here should be Perama Cave, Tekmon and Ioannina Castle. Don’t miss Konitsa either! Just 30 miles away, Pindus, Aoos Gorge and Tymfi Mountain are essential stops here.
