Guide to Parga

Overlooking Paxoi, Antipaxoi and Aktion, and the turquoise waters of the Ionian Sea, is Parga, a bustling tourist resort with its lacework of inlets and crystalline seas, and its picturesque narrow streets. It is one of the main attractions in the Preveza region. 

Parga town, a settlement dating back to the Byzantine period, was subject the influences of the Venetians, the British, the French and latterly, the Turks, from whom it was liberated in 1913.

Influenced by the Ionian architectural style, it is built like an amphitheatre along the slopes beneath the Venetian castle.  Parga has a distinctive island character. Walking through the narrow streets leading up the hill, you will be surprised by the picturesque town with its cobbled paths and churches, and you will find the heady scents of the flowers and fruit trees intoxicating. A checkered history, emerald seas, olive groves, and colourful mansion houses. A series of lush green islets enclose the three coves in the bay. You will be enchanted by the small island of Panagia with its quaint little church. The shops, night clubs, bars and tavernas create a special atmosphere. Thousands of tourists from every corner of Europe visit the region each year. You can visit the Ecclesiastical Museum or the Agia Folklore Museum, the church of Panagia Vlachernon, the castle and there is an impressive waterfall at Anthousa.

Make your holidays in Parga.  There are beaches to satisfy the preferences of all visitors; Loutsa, Alonaki Fanariou, Skala, Ormos tou Odyssea (Odysseus Bay), Ammoudia, Lichnos Beach, Kryoneri Beach, Piso Kryoneri, Valtos Beach and Sarakiniko. The area is ideal for scuba diving, water skiing, surfing, kite surfing, exploring sea caves and rocky islets, and a host of other activities.

Mesopotamo is the site of the most famous Oracle of the Dead in ancient times, the Necromanteion of Acheron. Here, according to ancient peoples, lay the Gates of the Underworld that led to the kingdom of Hades. The area was first described in Homer’s Odyssey.

The Acheron River, with its uniquely rich natural environment and the mystery which surrounds it, is an attraction for thousands of visitors.  At its mouth, in the village of Ammoudia, boatmen organise guided tours in small boats along the magical river route, while in the Straits of Acheron you can enjoy walking, swimming or kayaking, rafting, horse riding or you can explore the uniquely enchanting beauty of the surroundings.

It is worth paying a visit to the monastery of Agios Dimitrios at Kypseli. The seat of the Municipality is Kanalaki. Numerous cultural events take place here throughout the year. In Parga, the fun never stops!

From camp sites and rooms to let, to luxury hotels and independent villas surrounded by olive groves, as well as new boutique hotels, there is something to cover all your accommodation needs.
