Parga: A Picturesque Gem by the Ionian Sea
Imagine a tumble of colourful houses set against fragrant olive groves and overlooking an idyllic bay. Now see it for real. The postcard-perfect scenery is completed by the castle of Parga, majestically overlooking charming alleys, shops, and restaurants. Once a Venetian possession, Parga is an excellent base for exploring local historic sights such as the Vlachena Monastery, the Necromanteion of Ephyra, and the Acheron River—famed for its outstanding natural beauty and rich mythological history.
Excursions to the Ionian Islands are a must, with Paxoi and Antipaxoi just about an hour away from Parga by boat. For nature lovers, Parga offers lush vegetation and stunning landscapes. For dedicated sun worshippers, it is blessed with some of Greece’s most beautiful beaches, boasting powder-soft sands and crystalline waters.
Just half an hour from Parga by car, the charming village of Sivota is often called the Greek Caribbean because of its many exotic sandy beaches and amazingly transparent waters.
