Holidays to Parga, a Greek island on the mainland


Table of contents

Activity, tranquillity and stunning scenery; holidays to Parga can fulfil every traveller's desire

Parga, a hidden treasure trove of holiday delights

The picturesque town of Parga is often affectionately described as a Greek island on the mainland, such is the serenity and beauty of its surroundings. This hidden gem of a destination is nestled behind the mountains of the north-western Preveza region, its colourful buildings set into the curved hillside to form an impressive, natural amphitheatre, overlooking a sweeping bay.

A firm favourite luxury holiday location for native Greeks as well as international visitors, holidays to Parga offer an ideal mixture of history, nature and leisure. The town boasts several beaches; the most beautiful in the region are all within easy reach, Valtos being particularly renowned for its vast expanse of soft sand and turquoise water. Everything from exhilarating water sports to secluded sunset walks can be enjoyed here.

Explore the history of Parga

The landscape of Parga is especially beautiful in the way its historical architecture blends into its natural surroundings. The remains of a Venetian Castle, dating back to the Middle Ages, stand on a hill above the town, attractively weathered and overgrown, yet with many fascinating original features still intact. Originally used as a fortress, the site is now a peaceful place to walk in the shade and admire incredible views of the town and shoreline. On a neighbouring hill, the well-preserved Turkish castle of Anthoussa is also well worth a visit. Much of Parga's general architecture resembles that of the nearby Ionian Islands (including Corfu), reflecting the island influence so apparent in the town's calm, laid-back atmosphere. Enjoy all of these during a holiday to Parga.

A taste of Parga

Having explored the gorgeous scenery and the town's many paved streets of excellent shops, museums, churches and monuments, it is likely you will have worked up quite an appetite. Happily, Parga is home to an abundance of traditional family-run seafood taverns and grill restaurants, some of which can be found right on the beach for a relaxing dining experience by the sea. Alternatively, the town's cosmopolitan nightlife offers an invigorating evening of the same delicious cuisine along with lively music and dancing.

Whether you are looking for an energising, active adventure in inspiring surroundings, a cultural experience in a historical setting, or a restful and luxurious escape to a Greek island paradise, holidays to Parga will help you reach your dream destination, and our handpicked offers and exceptional discounts will make it a reality.

Salvator Hotel Villas & Spa (Parga - Greece)

Review
The Salvator Hotel is a delightful, family run hotel, which well deserves it 4 star status. Added to the mix, the attentive and personal service from the fabulous staff, the hotel could easily pass for a small 5 star hotel. The design and layout is boutique style and well thought out. It has all the facilities that you need on-site - pool, restaurant, bar, library and large spa. The restaurant serves good quality, freshly cooked meals for breakfast, lunch and dinner, and at reasonable prices. Further enhancing your stay is the daily shuttle bus service to the beautiful town of Parga - another delightful find which is full of authentic Greek character, windy streets, fantastic tavernas and amazing views. My partner and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Salvator Hotel and discovering Parga. We will definitely go back.

Parga is a beautiful place to visit lots of great tavernas, beautiful scenery and in the evening it comes to life with families and couples enjoying time together. This was my 1st visit to parga and my wife's 3rd and it will not be our last. We chose Reccanto as we wanted luxury, relaxation and a feeling of being looked after in a beautiful and tranquil setting. Our room was lovely, spacious clean with a very comfortable bed and excellent air con The pool area again was clean, tranquil with great views over olive groves and mountains. The beds were very comfortable, although not enough for all guests
