Epirus
Ali Pasha's Treasure
Ali Pasha ruled Epirus from Ioannina for four decades and was killed in January 1822 in a monastery on the island in Lake Pamvotida, where he had taken refuge from the Sultan's troops. The fortune he was said to have hidden before his fall has been searched for ever since. An Italian company dug the area for five years from 1913 and found nothing.
