If there is a picture-perfect beach town in northern Greece, Parga is it: an amphitheatre of a village, dominated by a Venetian castle, opening onto a clear turquoise bay pierced with islets. It’s small and gets crowded in summer, but it’s an undeniable beauty. Surrounded by lush greenery and the cobalt sea, Parga boasts a unique natural setting. Parga Town, which sits on the slopes of a hill, looks like a postcard. Full of elegant two-story mansions with colorful walls, it is incredibly photogenic. Parga Town is touristically developed, meaning that it has many Parga hotels, restaurants and facilities. If you stay overnight, it makes a base for swimming at beaches just north and south, as well as boat excursions to the Ionian Islands.
