Hire a Weekly Sailing Tour From Corfu to Parga
Parga is a seaside town located in the northwestern part of the prefecture of Preveza. It is built amphitheatrically on the Pezovolos hill at an altitude of 139 m and up to the coast of the Ionian Sea. It has a population of 2.415 inhabitants (2011 Census) and it is the historical seat of the municipality of Parga. The seat of the municipality is Kanallaki, but Parga is an economic, commercial and tourist centre of the region.
Today Parga is the busiest tourist resort of the region. Nearby are the beaches of Kryoneri, Piso Kryoneri, Valtos and Sarakiniko to the west, Lichnos and Ai Giannakis to the east. Just opposite the town there is the picturesque island of Panagia where a church is built, as well as medieval Venetian and French buildings. Another famous tourist attraction of the area is the Castle of Ali Pasha. It is the most popular tourist destination of Epirus. It is built on the outskirts of the Venetian castle and is obviously influenced by the Ionian architecture.
About fifteen kilometres from Parga is the most important ancient monument of the region. It is the most important necromancy of antiquity, the Necromancy of Acheron. The Ancient Greeks believed that the sources of the river Acheron were the Gates of the Underworld.
The first things that will catch your eye, as you approach Parga with Minas Yachting’s sailing boats, are the Venetian castle and the colourful traditional houses, insulated by lush greenery. Parga is a natural paradise, full of the colours of buildings, sea and nature!
In Parga, you don’t have to choose between a mountain or beach holiday. Amphitheatrically built at the foot of a green hill, but next to the sea, Parga combines both! Moreover, right in front of Parga, there are tiny exotic islands, which you can visit with our yachts or by catamarans.
