Parga  

Parga - Preveza (Greece)

Parga. Parga is perhaps the nicest holiday resort of Epirus. Although the tourist influence is noticeable in this picturesque town, Parga continues to radiate something special. It's cozy and atmospheric.

Parga is built next to the sea and on the slopes of a small hill. The view from the top of the hills is enchanted. The cafes are cozy and there are many small, quaint shops and a walk through the narrow alleys is great. Everywhere you see typical Venetian houses.

The beaches of Parga are very nice and clean. There are many hotels and accommodations, but in high season not enough to welcome all tourists.

Parga lies on the northwest coast of Greece. It is located not far from the Albanian border. It lies opposite the beautiful island of Corfu and the Paxos islands. Parga is visited daily by day-trippers from several islands (even from Lefkada).

On the hinterland you will see much greenery, thanks to natural resources. In the evening and night Parga is very cozy and very lively. During the day you can visit several beautiful beaches or the nature and the mountains in the inland. When staying in Parga, you can make trips to the beautiful Zagoria region in the mountains of Epirus. Not far from Parga, you will find several traditional villages where you can taste the real Greek atmosphere. The locals in these villages are very welcoming and always ready for a chat!
