Parga remains unspoiled by mass tourism, offering an authentic Greek experience with friendly locals, traditional festivals, and a laid-back vibe. It is ideal for couples seeking a romantic getaway, families looking for a safe and scenic beach destination and solo travellers and nature lovers interested in exploring off-the-beaten-path Greece.
Beaches
Parga is home to some of the most beautiful beaches in Greece. Valtes Beach is long and sandy, perfect for swimming and practising watersports. Lichnos Beach is a peaceful spot for a relaxing day out. Kryoneri Beach is close to Parga Town and walking distance to the centre, it enjoys calm waters and scenic views.
Local Cuisine
Enjoy fresh seafood, locally pressed olive oil, and regional dishes in cozy tavernas with sea views, especially in the local harbours.
Excursions
Explore nearby treasures such as the Acheron River, great for kayaking, hiking and rafting. For those interested in Greek mythology, a trip to the ancient Necromanteion (Oracle of the Dead) of Ephyra is a must. Or spend the day on a boat visiting both the neighbouring islands of Paxos or Antipaxos. Most boats pause for a swim and snorkel stop on route.
