Anatoli ( Greek Ανατολή ( f. Sg. )) Is a southern suburb and municipality of the Epirotian capital Ioannina . Anatoli is located on the south bank of Lake Pamvotida , around seven kilometers from the center of Ioannina. The neighboring districts are Bizani to the west and Pamvotida to the east. The population has more than doubled since 1991 with an increase from 5,578 to 11,555 inhabitants. The proportion of descendants of refugees from Asia Minor or Pontic Greeks as well as newcomers from the rural areas of the prefecture, namely from the area of Tzoumerka , is relatively high. They maintain the cultural heritage of the Greeks of Asia Minor in associations; the establishment of the archive of Asia Minor-Pontic culture is one of these efforts.

Anatoli was spun off from Ioannina in 1931, initially as a rural community (kinotita), from 1997 after the incorporation of two neighboring settlements as an urban community (dimos). With the administrative reform in 2010 , Anatoly reverted to Ioannina.

The Greek motorway 2 runs through the center of the municipality and connects the municipality to the Greek motorway network, but also divides it into two parts.
