They are the perfect choice to escape to a different setting. The traditional colors, the well-preserved houses and mansions, the wonderful tourist accommodations and the peace that prevails are some of the elements that justify the increased tourist traffic.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h5 id=\"short-historical-information\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Short Historical Information<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Originally the village was named <strong>Ano Soudena<\/strong>. In 1928 it was renamed to Ano Kampos. But a year later in 1929 it got its present name Ano Pedina. The name \u201cSoudena\u201d is derived from the Slavic Studend which means cold. It is also derived from Stountena -stdena-Zdena, a false etymology from the word Souda.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<script async=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-6914861690313656\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:block; text-align:center;\" data-ad-layout=\"in-article\" data-ad-format=\"fluid\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-6914861690313656\" data-ad-slot=\"6494896283\"><\/ins>\n<script>\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The village is known since 1361 and it is mentioned in the bull of Serbian ruler Simeon. Simeon recognised to John Tsafas Oursinis the possession of extensive areas in Epirus. However, it is unknown when it was originally built.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The teacher of the Nation and national benefactor <strong>Neophytos Doukas <\/strong>(1760-1845) was one of the people who came from Ano Pedina. He was a clergyman and scholar as well as director of the Bucharest School and first director of Rizarios School. Also, <strong>John Lampridis<\/strong> (1839-1891), philosopher, donor in Athens University and scholar of Epirus culture came from the village.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery
