Venetian Castle of Parga ๐Ÿ›๏ธ

#2024wish Delightful day at the Venetian Castle of Parga! ๐Ÿฐ A small price was paid for the captivating journey through history and panoramic views โ€“ 2 EUR entrance fee. ๐Ÿ’ธ Sitting high above the Ionian Sea, on a hillside that could only be described as stunning. ๐ŸŒŠ๐Ÿž๏ธ Meandering along the well-preserved walls and fortifications, I felt like a time traveler amidst Venetian architecture. This design beautifully explained the strategic nature of the castle and its role in regional history through informational signs. ๐Ÿ—บ๏ธ๐Ÿน On top, the panoramic views of Valtos Beach and surrounding islands were simply breathtaking. It was authentic with the medieval structures and cannons. ๐Ÿ”ญโš”๏ธ Nearby to this area is the popular Parga town with its picturesque streets, sea-side cafes and busy atmosphere. The day was rounded up perfectly with a boat trip to the nearby islets and beaches. ๐Ÿšค๐Ÿน The visit to the Venetian Castle concluded one of my best Greek evenings with an enjoyable Greek meal in a seaside taverna. ๐Ÿฝ๏ธ๐ŸŒ… #pargacastlemagic #ionianviews #historicaljourney #seasideadventure

Valtos Beach Hotel

Parga is an Epirus gem, located in the northwestern area of Preveza, it is amphitheatrically built and overlooks the Ionian islands of Paxos and Antipaxos. Infused with the architectural style of the Venetians (low-rise, colourful mansions with ceramic-tile roofs that overlook the sea, a castle and cobblestone streets) who once occupied the area, yet with lush greenery mainly made up of pine, olive and fruit trees and turquoise-emerald waters reminiscent of an exotic land.Although itโ€™s part of the mainland, Parga has a dreamy island-like feel to it. The large, sandy, organised beach of Kryoneri is the most popular spot for swimming, although there are numerous bays and coves to enjoy along Pargasโ€™ coastline. Youโ€™ll find Piso Kryoneri on one end and the coastline of Valtos on the other, from where you can enjoy a view of the castle from behind and the historic monastery of Vlaherna. Ai Yiannaki and Lichno on the south side are also great places to swim. #mynovgetaway #mynovgetaway
