Holidays to Parga

Nestled between pine-covered mountains and the azure waters of the Ionian Sea, the little town of Parga is as quintessentially Greek as they come. A popular destination for sun seekers and culture hunters, it lies fringed by five superb beaches and is loomed over by the Castle of Parga, constructed in the 11th century to protect the town from invasions by both Mediterranean pirates and the Ottoman Empire and later fortified by the Venetians.

Aside from its idyllic coastal qualities, Parga also impresses throughout its quaint streets, where colourful terracotta-topped buildings climb the hillside and vibrant bars and tavernas litter a warren of pedestrian-friendly streets.

A paradise for wandering and pondering, enjoy evenings strolling the harbour and seafront to watch salty-haired fishermen returning to shore and couples cosying up for a jaw-dropping sunset over the still Ionian waters. For a beach escape steeped in Greek culture and aesthetic, Parga delivers a luxury Greece holiday to rival anywhere else in the Mediterranean.
