A walk up to Ali Pashas Castle
by Russ60
This is a Venetian Castle built high above Parga once occupied by a Turk called Ali Pasha.
The long walk up to the Castle passes through a small village (Anthousa I think) the Castle is a good mile or so past this village.
The views from the Castle back to the coast are well worth the hard struggle uphill to get there.
Fantastic view and good food
by Lomma about Kastro 1380
After many years in Parga - we finally entered this Restaurant. Known more for its view than the food. However, this year - we knew that our friends from many years further down the road, selling bags, had taken over the place and we wanted to pay them a visit.
Finally the place has become the restaurant it should be. Aleca and Petros have turned it into the place it deserves to be - right underneith the castle of Parga. Fantastic view and good food. A variaty of dishes - from local to international, kids meny and a fairly good selection of wine. Again - you always get what you pay for in this respect.
Aleca is the perfect hostess and they have lovely, friendly waiters.
Book a table to be sure to be seated in the front hanging more or less over Parga. We tried the the Castro specials stuffed chicken and Pork and this was very good.
We enjoyed wine - from €25 and up and it is worth it to a good dish.
The kids menu was enjoyed by our youngest "Nose of pinochico", so you will always find something there.
Sandy beach in Valthou bay
by JLBG
The bottom of Valthou bay has a superb beach that is the beach of Parga. It can be reached either by sea or by a small road. This is the road that leads from the main road to Parga and that goes a little further, as a dead end.
Parga
by pepica
Picturesque town on Ionian Sea, on small bay with olive tree woods. Romantic streets with white houses, lots of cafés, taverns… Quiet at the day, but in the night you can enjoy in cosmopolitan atmosphere
The church of Saint Panagia on the island across the town is one of the most known places in Parga. You can get there by swimming from the Krioneri beach.
The view is magnificent.
