WHY VISIT PARGA?

From Parga you can take boat excursions to other Ionian islands or further explore the region.  Parga is surrounded by beautiful natural landscape...pine, cypress, olive and orange trees, hills, rivers & waterfalls.  The many beaches and bays are stunning and suit all tastes.

Swimming and watersports are popular on Valtos (2 km long) and the pebbly and quieter Lichnos beaches with their crystal clear turquoise sea. There is a range of accommodation to suit all tastes and lovely shopping options, with craft shops, jewellers and galleries.

In the evening, Parga is buzzing with fish and grill restaurants, traditional tavernas, bistros and cocktail bars. Amble along the cobbled streets then tuck into delicious, fresh Greek food and sample ouzo and local wines while soaking up the ambience.  The view from the largely ruinous 11th century Venetian castle is incredible. Other sights to explore nearby include the 19th century Al Pasha Ottoman castle on the hilltop of Centhoussa village, monasteries and the church of Panagia. In mid August there is the Kanaria festival to completely immerse yourself in local culture and traditions.

Sublime Sivota

Just 20 miles from Parga, and opposite Corfu, this former old fishing village is now a picturesque and bustling harbour, located in a sheltered horseshoe bay.

If you want to relax in  stunning natural surroundings with stunning beaches and forested hills, Sivota is for you.

Springs of the Acheron River

This 52 km stretch of beautiful natural scenery of springs, waterfalls and rocks is waiting to be explored.  It’s popular with hikers who can follow the old footpaths and rafters, and is immersed in the Ancient Greek legend of the underworld.
