Hotels In Cardiff - Greece travel Guide For Parga, holiday &

Sightseeing

The town has an ancient Oracle of the Dead and also a large Amphitheatre to explore along with the old castle that they now use as a museum. For those of you wanting to see something a little more architectural then you could either hire a car to drive to Ioannina or take public transport. The views are panoramic and it really is well worth the walk. If you're feeling energetic and would like some fabulous shots of the scenery on the island I would advise a walk up the hill to the little church. They are rather steep but at a leisurely pace most people will be able to explore the area. Just walking around the narrow streets in Parga is interesting and very photogenic. If you're walking ability is limited then you may not manage to walk up the many steps that lead you to the castle. The castle that stands above the town is definitely worth the long walk up the narrow pathway. But still worth a visit, st Nikolas church dominates the centre of the town and is quite impressive from the outside but when you enter its rather disappointing, for one there are more than enough churches to visit. This delightful town has a few tourist attractions on offer. With its Venetian style white washed houses lining the cobbled streets that are decorated with flowers in bloom all through the Summer months, the wonderful small town of Parga on the Greek mainland is very picturesque.

Shopping and eating

This is ideal if you are self catering and need to purchase those necessities you may have forgotten to bring along with you. For those of you who don't like to experiment you will even find a co-op store to stock up on shopping. Italian and places serving typical international meals, the cuisine is mostly Greek but there are Chinese. This is excellent for those families on a budget as you will be sure to find somewhere that the price is right. There are about as many restaurants as there are shops in this small town so you have an excellent amount of choice. You will also find some interesting items in the local villages around Parga. There has to be something for everyone whether it's in the old town or newer part. You can purchase beautiful handmade jewellery and leather items along with some quality ceramics. The best place to shop is probably in the old part of the town where it is a warren of shops of every kind.

Beaches

With the weather from April through to October being very nice it's ideal for a holiday away at anytime of the year. You will find most of the beaches have good facilities and activities to suit most people. Jet skiing and having a go on the banana boat along with boating and many other activities, valtos beach is ideal for swimming. Peaceful and not too crowded, all the beaches in Parga are wonderful.
