A summer holiday to Parga really is about sampling the best of Greece. There's a choice of two beautiful beaches, with Valtos being the larger more popular one. The waterfront is lined with tavernas serving a mix of fresh traditional and international food, the town is narrow cobbled streets lined with houses with red tiled roofs, colourful shutters and beribboned with wisteria and bougainvillea. It's very pleasant to while away the hours of a Parga summer holiday strolling the town, stopping at pavement cafes, looking in dinky shops or to walk up the olive draped hill to the Venetian castle where you can admire the view from yet another vantage point.

A summer holiday to Parga is a great place from which to explore Epira Province with the ruins at Kassiopi, the villages around the magnificent Vikos Gorge, the castle at Anthoussa and a whole slew of pretty coastal villages, secluded coves and beautiful beaches. Then it's back to base to enjoy the relaxed nights of a Parga summer holiday on the glittering waterfront and its lively bars and night scene.
