One of Greece's most beautiful cities, Parga is built in an amphitheatre style along the Ionian shores, strongly reminiscent of Italy's Amalfi, attracting visitors from around the world. Harmoniously combining the sea with the mountains, this picturesque, vibrant, and lively town features numerous eateries and entertainment venues, including the Dracos Hotel's own Parga Bar, renowned for its cocktails and panoramic sea views.

Parga is a true gem in the Prefecture of Preveza, boasting distinctive monuments, castles, and monasteries for captivating strolls and excursions. Just 15 km away lies the region's most significant monument, the Necromanteion of Acheron (5th-4th century BCE), a must-visit for every traveller. Daily boat trips depart from the port for one-day cruises to nearby beaches, revealing their beauty best from the sea or to Paxos and Antipaxos islands across. Equally intriguing are the mainland day trips to Ioannina, Metsovo, and Zagori that you can embark on for a broader exploration of the region.
