Olive tree: Our greek philosophy

Ioannina is one of the parts of Greece where the Orthodox faith has left obvious signs of devotion and Byzantine notation. Key events by orthodox people of Epirus have written their own story in the Greek and orthodox mainstream. An important personality destined to remain forever in the hearts of the people of Ioannina is St. George Newmartyr. A humble personality, but with full dedication to the Triune God and the Orthodox faith. A figure of resistance to the Ottoman occupation of Ioannina, at a time when the Porte had started to fight the Romeiko and consequently some revolts had begun by Romeiko and Orthodox populations.


Young George being orphaned at the age of 8, a native of nearby Grevena tried to make the excess. He became an Ottoman officer's groom and then he fell in love with the woman of his life who he was going to marry. A Hotza will slander that he was a former Muslim and thereafter start the problems with the Ottoman Muslims.

Cable TV (Nova) in AAR Hotel

The stay at the hotel does not mean you have to leave your favorite habits. Clearly a stay implies a

vacation or business obligations, but it is hard to miss things that we enjoy daily. One of our

favorite habits is cable TV. The reasons are varied and special for everyone. Ioannina is gorgeous

and Epirus cannot be explored with a single visit, but it can be combined with.... your favorite

team!
