Parga Holidays

With its clear blue waters, lush landscape and colourful houses scattered across a sloped hillside, you’d be forgiven for mistaking Parga for a Greek island. However, this rustic village is in fact on the mainland in western Greece. For beach lovers and countryside explorers, Parga holidays offer the best of both worlds. Set around a bay, there are several beaches to swim at or try water sports, while Parga’s hills are a hiker’s delight, criss-crossed with rivers and walking tracks.

Around Parga are historical sites such as the Gates of Hades, as well as Venetian castles and Ottoman fortresses. The town itself is alive with shops, restaurants, bars and music venues. A real highlight on holidays to Parga is an early evening stroll by the harbour, when the scenery appears bathed in gold. With the charm of a Greek island, and much more besides, this mainland wonder has all the ingredients for an unforgettable holiday.
