Things to do

Parga

Memorable moment...

Feel the cool evening breeze as you watch the sunset disappear into the horizon from the harbour.

Things to do

Explore the Nekromanteio of Afyra, where you can descend the steep metal staircase into the dark crypt, which was the legendary palace of Hades, god of the underworld. Visit the breathtaking monasteries of Meteora, perched on huge fist-shaped granite rocks. See Dodoni's impressive amphitheatre and the castle at Anthoussa. Admire superb coastline views from the Venetian castle.

Beaches

Of the many delights along this stunning coast, Valtos' sheltered bay, with its coarse golden sand, is a particular favourite. At Preveza, Ai Sostis Beach has beautiful clear water and a charming little church, wedged between two rocks. Other noteworthy beaches include those at Chrysogiali, Krioneri, Lychnos and Sarakiniko.

From Parga

Epirus Explorer
For a real taste of culture, this tour takes you north of Parga to the Epirus region's capital city, Ioannina, where you can discover the Byzantine castle, where tyrant ruler Ali Pasha held court, Lake Pamvotis and the Island of Ioannina, with its cobbled streets full of shops, and Dodoni's ancient amphitheatre.

Corfu Town
Enjoy a relaxing day cruising along the Ionian Sea to Corfu Town, Corfu's bustling, elegant capital, designed by the Venetians. From enjoying the ambience in delightful pavement cafes to browsing shops and wandering narrow streets in the Old Town, this is a great place to spend time.

From Lefkas

Odysseia
Set sail from Lefkas to explore the island of Meganisi, starting at Papanikolis Cave, surrounded by rugged cliffs and turquoise water, and seeing its traditional villages. After that, you can relax on an unspoilt beach with a barbecue and drinks, before sailing around Skorpios island, once owned by Jackie O's husband.

Top

Food and drink

You will find a wealth of international restaurants along the harbour and on the hillside near the castle. Sample grilled feta cheese, served with tomatoes and herbs, and Kleftiko, baked lamb or goat. As with most of Greece, seafood is very popular and delicious. Stored in barrels, locally produced wine is excellent, particularly the red variety.

Top

Evening Flavour

This relatively low-key resort is popular with the Greeks at the height of summer, with the bars and tavernas beginning to buzz as night falls. There are a few discos along Parga's main quay.

Top

Shopping

Head to the harbourfront for souvenirs including leatherwear, blown glass, handmade jewellery, ceramics and dried herbs. For a real taste of Greece, visit the Ouzo factory, where you can also pick up brandy and kumquat and cherry liqueurs.
