Javelenas ladder-path In an inaccessible area southwest of Ioannina, at the confluence of the legendary Acheron River with its tributary, the Tsagariotikos, there was an area during the Turkish occupation that maintained a high degree of autonomy and subordination.

The famous Souli. Above the village “Kiafa” rises the rock of “Trypa”, a part of which is known as the “Ladder path of Tzavellana”. A natural, rocky staircase where every rock looks like a step. There, it is said, in 1792 Moschu Javela, wife of Lambro Javela, fought with other Souliotis against the Turks, defending their land and saving Souli by killing 2000 Turks.
