Along the rugged coast of Epirus, an eastern region of mainland Greece, lies Parga, a delightful town that enchants at first sight with its cascade of pastel-coloured houses arranged amphitheatrically on the sea. A sea that is 100% Greek, meaning blue and crystal clear.
Popular with tourists from Northern Europe, Sweden and Germany in primis, Parga is still little known to tourists and is therefore a valid alternative to the classic island holiday.
Why holiday in Parga? There are at least two good reasons: it has a wide choice of hotels to suit all budgets and it boasts beautiful beaches that are unmatched by those on the islands. The other reasons to fall in love with Parga you will discover by coming here.
Take it easy in Parga: it is a city to live slowly. Forget the list of things to see at home and let yourself be captivated by the magical atmosphere of its narrow streets, waterfront, colourful houses and taverns.
You won’t be able to miss the fortress that dominates the city. Originating in the 14th century, it was rebuilt several times over the course of time by the Normans, Ottomans and Venetians and is the perfect destination for a fascinating walk back in time, past vaulted corridors, walls and cannon rooms, as well as an exceptional vantage point.
The historical centre, a picturesque maze of cobbled lanes, is dotted with craft shops selling traditional Arta ceramics and local textiles, while pastel-coloured neoclassical buildings create a genuinely Greek atmosphere. The church of Agia Sofia, perched on a cliff overlooking the sea, dates back to 1660 and contains well-preserved Byzantine frescoes.
The 18th century Turkish hammam, located near the harbour, is now an archaeological museum displaying Hellenistic and Roman artefacts found in the area. The main street of the village, along which are traditional taverns and historical cafés such as ‘To Kastro’ dating from 1958, leads to the central square where a monumental Ottoman fountain stands.
Don’t miss the Folk Museum of Parga, which tells the story of daily life in Ottoman times, and the walk along the ramparts, which allows you to admire the sunset over the bay of Valtos amidst centuries-old olive trees and maritime pines. The Venetian arcade, with its typical colourful boats and terracotta-roofed houses reflected in the crystal-clear water, is the beating heart of this timeless village where tradition and beauty blend harmoniously.
From Parga you can easily reach Syvota, a pretty fishing village that has now become a popular holiday resort. Near Syvota are the remains of the ancient village of Vrahona.
Moving a little further afield, you will also have the opportunity to do some fascinating trekking along the valley of the Acheron River.
The coast around Parga is a long succession of beaches, almost all wide and sandy, suitable for different types of travellers: couples, families with small children, young people. The town beach is Krionari, very comfortable but often crowded.
Other equipped beaches that are easy to reach by foot, taxi or taxi boat are Valtos and Lychnos. The former is located close to the Venetian fortress, while the latter is 4 km from the centre.
Other beaches not to be missed around Parga are: Sarakiniko, Agia Paraskevi, Arillas, Gallikos Molos, Diapori, Ai-Giannakis, Ai-Sostis, Pogonia.
Little known to tourists, Parga is actually a very thriving town from a tourist point of view, so you will have no difficulty finding accommodation in the area.
Flats, residences and rooms in private homes predominate, but there is also a good choice of 1- to 5-star hotels and prices are generally affordable. Many facilities have a swimming pool.
