Recommendations on my recent trip to Greece.
I flew to parga in Greece which is on the mainland with Sunvil Holidays. The flight was from London Gatwick with Tor Airlines which took 3hrs 30 mins , then an hour transfer to the resort of Parga.
I can recommend the Achilleas Hotel which is directly on a secluded beach. A very pretty hotel with stunning views from the Atrium bar which is up some steep steps. The breakfast terrace overlooks the pretty cove. Just a few minutes walk and you are in the centre of parga with plenty of bars and retaurants, many of them with stunning views.
It is very reasonable to eat out in this pretty harbourside resort. You can chose from harbourside bars and restaurants or take a walk through winding old town streets where you can find small typically greek restaurants and shops. From the harbour front you can get a water taxi to the few other beaches and coves along this coastline. There is a daily boat trip to Paxos (well worth a visit) and on a thursday a ferry runs to Corfu. There is also a very nice but steep walk through the olive groves to a very nice beach called Lichnos beach. This holiday can be as relaxing or as adventurous as you want it to be.

ReplyDeleteParga is a picturesque town located in the north-western part of Preveza in Epirus, north-western Greece, nuzzled in a secluded bay of the Ionian Sea. In the west, one can admire a promontory and a rocky hill with pine trees, as well as a smaller promontory surrounded by verdant nature, to the eastern side of the town.
Parga is surrounded by mountains blanketed in olive groves and pines. The Pargan houses are built amphitheatrically, embracing the coast and ascending up to the top of the mountain. Visitors will be amazed by this beautiful mainland town, which has a distinctive atmospheric insular ambience embraced by spectacular surrounding
