This year we have prepared for you a premiere adventure in the Ionian Sea, between Preveza and Igoumenitsa and more specifically in Parga. Set amphitheatrically above the sea, Parga is a unique place combining picturesque mountains and crystal clear waters.
There is not a person who has visited the city and has not left part of his heart in it! Its landscapes resemble those of an island, the Venetian influence can be felt from every corner, and if you look at it from above you will be overwhelmed by the feeling of being in Monaco. Parga has a rich history. It has been known to the world as a settlement since the 13th century, and there have been constant battles fought over it throughout the centuries. It was ruled by the Venetian, French, Turkish and British armies. A native of Parga was the Grand Vizier of the Ottoman Empire, Suleiman the Magnificent.
The medieval fortress overlooking the town, built in the 15th century by the Venetians during their occupation of Parga, is a reminder of past grandeur and battles and is a natural end to the old part of the town, which begins just behind the promenade, and the sunset here is magical.
