Kaplaneios School stands as a proud relic of the Greek Enlightenment, having served as a clandestine Greek school during the Ottoman period. Visitors step into restored classrooms where wax figures and period artifacts evoke the daily life of students and teachers. The building’s stone walls and wooden ceilings reflect its age, while exhibits highlight the role of education in preserving Greek identity. It’s a quiet, thought-provoking stop that connects Ioannina’s past to its present.
