Sight-seeing
Parga is perfect for exploring so here are my TOP recommendations what to visit while staying here!
This one is a must, since you will most likely be based in Parga. The castle is awesome and there is a lot of natural shade from the trees so you don't have to worry about being too hot. It's a bit of a hike to get to the castle since the route is pr...
Parga Castle
A truly magical place that you must visit. In person it looks even more beautiful. Be aware, the water is extremely cold and i would suggest wearing those rubber water shoes. I would also recommend you get there early because it's not the same when t...
Acheron River
Another awesome castle you can explore while staying in Parga. The entry is free, but the castle is not secure so be cautious. It is best if you visit it in the early afternoon since it is barely lit. Besides all the dangerous aspects the views are a...
Ali Pasha Castle
This was truly an amazing experience! In Parga's main port you have many different types of cruises to chose from, they are all amazing! I have NEVER seen such a crystal blue turquoise water! Truly a must if you plan on visiting Parga!
Paxos Antipaxos Blue Caves Cruise
Food
Since we had an apartment accomodation that had a kitchen, we rarely ate out. But here are some of our recommendations for date nights in Parga <3
A very cool greek tavern with a modern twist! It's located on Parga's main promenade near those beautiful colorful houses beneath the castle. The service is excellent and the stuff was very nice.
Toros Greek Taverna
Awesome place for some breakfast or brunch. Their pizzas and pancakes are delicious! The portions are big and the stuff is super friendly. The restaurant is located on Valtos beach so you have amazing view while enjoying your food. They are not too p...
Yacht Club - Snack Bar & Restaurant
Truly the best gyros in Parga. They are always full and often people wait in front of the restaurant to take a seat. Wish the portions are a bit larger but the pita and the meat are so tasty that it keeps you wanting more. We went here multiple times...
Filippas Gyros Restaurant
Beautiful restaurant located also on Valtos beach. We went here on a dinner date since we saw that the restaurant was almost always full in the evening. Although they are on a pricier side, their menu and food are very high quality. The ambience was ...
Akti Seaside Bar Restaurant
This is the only restaurant that i recommend “blindly” since i we didn't have the chance to sit here for dinner. but don't let that fool you, this restaurant is absolutely legendary in Parga and it is considered to have the best fish in the whole cit...
Bacchos Restaurant
Very cool restaurant with amazing views! It's located right next to the fortress and it often requires booking a reservation in advanced since it is very popular!
Kastro 1380
Super cute ice cream place that we couldn't avoid! The ice cream i phenomenal! We actually came back few days later because we were craving pistachio ice cream that they had! When you see that they keep their ice cream in closed containers you know i...
Magic Cream
This is a more luxurious restaurant for a dinner date! They have amazing oysters and the food is brilliant. The ambiance is so romantic. Great restaurant if you want to splurge a little bit but still get your money's worth!
Villa Rossa
Drinks
Some lovely cocktail bars with amazing views, good cocktails and positive vibes!
Great cocktails and beautiful views! We spent few of our evenings here trying out different cocktails while we enjoyed a beautiful ambience. The cocktails are 10+e which might be considered pricey but they are really worth it!
Mike's Bar
Another awesome cocktail bar with amazing panoramic view of Parga! It's usually very busy since it's a quite popular place but if you get there earlier in the evening you won't have any problem finding a seat. The stuff was very polite and the cockta...
Avra
SUCH AN UNDERRATED PLACE!!! Located next to the beach Pizo Krioneri, this bar is very affordable but still serves amazing views! It was unfortunately very far away from us, but we spent a lovely afternoon here trying out different cocktails! Got drun...
Atrium Bar
Beaches
The coastline is filled with many amazing beaches so make sure to explore as much as you can
Very cute and small beach west from Parga. We spent a day here and had a really good time! Had delicious lunch in Alex's bar and enjoyed a lot of natural shade! You can visit this beautiful beach via car (there's is plenty of free parking) or you can...
Sarakiniko Beach
Very similar to Valtos beach except maybe more quiet! The beach is wide and there is plenty of space to put your towels and parasols. The water is crystal clear and perfect temperature. You can get to this beach via ferry boats, or via car but beware...
Lichnos Beach
We have very mixed feelings about this one since the beach itself is so beautiful but the day that we decided to visit it was EXTREMLY windy. It was unbearable to even be at the beach because the sand would continuously get in our eyes so we unfortun... don't let our experience discourage you. I'm sure on a nice less windy day this beach would be absolute perfection. It's sandy and very long and for the price of two drinks you can use all day the sunbeds and parasol + the shower. Very sad our experi...
Ammoudia Beach
Our personal favorite just because our apartment was located in the Valtos region. The beach is long and wide and in some parts it's sandy while in the other it's shingle. There are plenty of parking spots and different beach bars, but you also have ...

It's very important to find a reliable and affordable supermarket in Parga since things can get a bit overpriced. For example, being located in Valtos region, we had only one market (Mini market) that was very pricey. I would recommend to do your sho...
Express Market
This is the nearest Lidl super market, located at an hour away from Parga. We stopped here when we were on our way, to shop and get supplies. It has everything you need and the prices are reasonable (like every other Lidl super market).
