HD scenery
Forget camera filters, this region’s colour palette is off the chart. Parga village’s buildings come in luscious lemon yellows and stunning sky blues, while up in the old town, bougainvillea petals cascade like confetti in the wonderful warm breeze. And the beaches? Well they’re proof that all that glistens is gold.
Days of discovery
When it comes to resorts, you’ve got low-key Lichnos with its pretty pebbled beach and sparkling Sivota with its promenade cafés to name but two. But Parga offers so much more than just chocolate box towns. Nature lovers, visit Acheron River’s waterside pathways, while culture fans should check out the local festivals.
Nights to delight
Parga harbour calls as soon as the sun falls. The scenery is as stunning by night as it is by day, with twinkling lights and a buzz of activity. It’s lined with traditional tavernas, chic bistros and cool little cocktail bars and trust us, there’s plenty of choice!
Beaches
Splashing the shores with glimmering gold, this is a region rich in beaches. From low-key Lichnos with its tree-blanket backdrop, to Valtos with its dine-al-fresco restaurants, there’s a perfectly pebbled plot with your name on it here in the Parga region. Spectacular scenery comes as standard round these parts.
