Declared a tourist destination in 1962, Parga is not the type of place to visit for the party goer; it is quite the quiet town which is great for rest and recuperation.

Apart from lazing about in the sun on the two beaches in the immediate proximity of the town, short day trips to the surrounding areas are popular and on an extended stay offer a change and things to do. Lichnos (Lihnos) has a stunning beach with an atmosphere that offers great relaxation whereas for those that wish to punctuate their relaxation with some more strenuous activity, a little farther up is the beach of Ai Giannakis with a variety of water sports.

Due to the nature of the wild landscape of Parga, there are many concealed little coves and “secret” spots that can only be accessed by boat for hire, usually you strike a deal with a local to take you there and bring you back at an agreed upon time. Chances are you will also see a variety of yachts and boats of all kinds in some of those picturesque bays and coves.

While driving due south along the Preveza coast the coastal road meanders through Loutsa and Vrahos (Rock) which is more of a party beach with many bars for the thirsty visitors. Lygia is also another very popular holiday destination and Riza (Root) which is a far lesser known and therefore quieter swimming spot. These two beach destinations are quite the favourite for a number of Europeans visiting who choose to come by road with their mobile homes (RV’s) via Italy. Kanali follows with Monolithi which was voted in the top 10 best beaches in Greece.
