About Parga, Sivota & Preveza
Epirus is located in northwestern Greece on the mainland overlooking the Ionian Sea and the islands of Corfu and Paxos.
PARGA
Perched on the slopes of a Venetian castle, Parga is a breathtaking, cosmopolitan place with enchanting panoramic views to the Ionian Sea. In a privileged location between the cities of Preveza and Igoumenitsa, the beautiful town of Parga is surrounded by wonderful mountainous countryside and green scenery. Local architecture reveals Italian influences intermingled with long-lasting traditional elements. The lively atmosphere and the charming corners of the paved alleys, alongside the peace and tranquility of the surrounding nature, make up a stimulating visit experience.
Beautiful Parga is situated at the mouth of Acheron river, in southwest Epirus, opposite the islands of Paxoi and Antipaxos. Visitors are invited to discover the rich history of the place and the diversity of natural attractions in the area, as well as the hospitality and the passionate character of the locals. A few must-see sites include the islet of Virgin Mary, the traditional “kantounia”, the -renowned from mythology- Acheron river and the Homeric temple of necromancy, the beautiful beaches, and the numerous historical monuments and attractions.
SIVOTA
Sivota has been called “Greece’s Caribbean” — for good reason. Sivota lies opposite the southern end of Corfu, in a magnificent area with lush hills, crystal clear waters, idyllic shores, coves and beaches. Sivota is protected by a closed bay, where you can also find many scattered islets and cays: Agios Nikolaos, Mavro Oros with its lighthouse and sea cave, Big and Small Mourtemenos (at the latter you can also find a sea cave). Sivota’s largest beach is Mega Ammos, located right next to Mikri Ammos. One of the most beautiful, hidden beaches in Sivota is Pisina, at the island of Mavro Oros, whose azure waters are only accessible by boat (or any of the cruise ships that organize day trips from Sivota or Parga). You should also visit the beaches of French Molos, Zeri, Zavia and the Bella Vraka beach in Megalo Mourtenomeno.
PREVEZA
An island atmosphere, centuries of history, delicious food and more beaches than you can imagine...
Situated at the mouth of the Ambracian Gulf, Preveza is linked to Epirus and the rest of the mainland by Greece’s first undersea tunnel. When you exit the tunnel, the city greets you with a smile. Sandwiched between two bodies of water, the Ionian Sea and the Ambracian Gulf, Preveza will charm you with its lovely jetty, yacht-filled marina, dozens of restaurants and meze-bars, pedestrianised centre and stylish shops. Just outside town, you’ll encounter Augustus, Antony and Cleopatra at ancient Nikopolis. And after that, there are some 60 km of beaches to explore, from Preveza all the way to Parga.
