Dourachani monastery, Orthodox monastery in Loggades, Greece

The white stone monastery stands on the northeastern shore of Lake Pamvotida, featuring a bell tower and traditional wooden loggias connected to monastic cells.

Durahan Pasha of Thessaly established this religious site in 1434 after surviving winter conditions with his army on the frozen lake near Ioannina.

The monastery houses a three-aisled church with frescoed walls and a carved wooden iconostasis containing an important image of the Virgin Mary.

Located opposite the mosques of Ioannina city, the monastery maintains regular religious services and welcomes visitors through its stone-paved courtyard entrance.

A single-chamber bell tower contains a stork nest while an ancient cypress tree near the roof provides shelter to finches throughout the seasons.
