Ioannina Island

Most people never think about visiting some of the small cities and towns in the interior of Greece when on vacation.  I can tell you now that you are really missing out.  Allison and I went to the city of Ioannina near the border of Albania, and found the nicest candy selling lady in history.

Her store is located on the island in the middle of the the cities lake.  The island has a population of less than 300 and more than half of the population seems to be in the business of selling meals to visitors or tourist trinkets.  One lady however has a great collection of hand made treats that it appears she makes by hand.

She was so nice to us, and was so generous with the samples.  I tasted everything she makes before I had to buy anything.  Although all of her snacks where tasty, this almond triangular cookie was superb.  I could have eating a million of these things.
