The number of Greek churches in the city does not exceed seven or eight, but some of these are of considerable size. The services of the Greek religion, however, cannot here shew themselves in the same unrestrained way as in the Ionian Isles; and though Ali Pasha is habitually tolerant in this respect, yet the usage of some centuries, and the number of Mahomedans in the city, repress many of the external demonstrations which belong to this church elsewhere. Ioannina is the seat of a Greek archbishop, to whom several bishoprics are subordinate in the southern parts of Albania.
