Day 14 of your road trip in Greece is your departure day. This is your chance to catch a last glimpse of Ioannina before saying goodbye to this wonderful destination. If you've still got time left, we recommend doing some last-minute shopping or sightseeing.
If you're up for some more sightseeing, we recommend visiting Kaloutsiani Mosque, a culturally significant mosque before you head out.
On your last day in Greece, take time to indulge in shopping at Ioannina’s popular marketplace, Epirus Street. Look for keepsakes or souvenirs to remind you of your trip. Browse boutiques to find unique and stylish fashion pieces. Wrap up your shopping with a drink and some pastries at a cozy cafe.
Before you conclude your road trip in Greece, drop by another restaurant for a last chance at a memorable dining experience in Ioannina.
Dine in style at ΨΗΣΤΑΡΙΑ TAVERNA "O SAKiS", a top recommendation for dinner tonight. Or, for a change of pace, Motley Coffeesweet boasts a menu that's sure to impress.
You’ll then say farewell to Ioannina. Drive to the airport, return your car, and take the opportunity to get some last-minute souvenirs before you board your flight home. We wish you a pleasant journey and hope you leave with many wonderful memories of your road trip in Greece!
