Pagouri Est. In Ioannina

About

Handmade gifts and souvenirs. PAGOURI EST. IN IOANNINA made its special start in the city of Ioannina, in 2016. After a tour abroad and inspired by our good friends at "AGORA METEORON", we return and bring something new to the city, changing the way we think about the souvenirs! By focusing on the the effort required to create something unique, we emphasise the original beauty of the handmade products and the display of tradition on fashionable gifts with inspiration and respect ... “Pagouri” meaning a flask in Greek, is a nickname given to the citizens & the city of Ioannina. Legend has it, that people of the town were watching the moon’s reflection on the lake and tried to catch it by emptying lake by their water bottles! The most probable scenario however, is that the nickname was given by the city visitors because the locals used to go to the lake to fill their “pagouri” with water.
