Filyra is one of three sweet, flower-bedecked small hotels under the same management, all tucked into historic old courtyard houses in Ioannina's castle district. With a range of room configurations, you're sure to find a set-up that suits. Platanos in the Castle is across the small plateia from Filyra; Dafni is on Ioustinianou, facing the kastro wall.
