Weather : Weather was hot hot hot all week, past 30 degrees, not a cloud to be seen. Night time can get a bit sticky but only to be expected, options of air con in rooms, alternatively a fan with a bottle of water sometimes helps also

Holiday : Fantastic holiday. first time to Parga and definately wont be the last. As its a Greek resort it adds to the enjoyment
We stayed at the Maria and Eleni apartments above Valtos Beach area - some people may think they are a bit out of it but it is only a nice 20 minute stroll to the town, coming back works the legs a liitle more but not too much a problem, though if your not used to that then it could be
A|partments excellant views, very clean, 2x pools, all friendly people there
We did lots of exploring as listed below. Nightlife depends on what you want, if you require pumping music, go elsewhere, very relaxed atmospheres in all bars.
drinks varied from 2 to 4.5 euros for a 500ml draught lager
bottles from 2 to 4.5 euros dependant on type, just need to look around
Food excellant. Place very clean
Overall best place we have visited and we have done a fair few islands and areas on the mainland

Places Recommended : A|li Pachas Castle either by train or as we did walked it.
Paxos and Anti Paxos - 15 Euros on the Gaios boat, pay on the day, get a few hours in Paxos as opposed to the longer boat trips - we seen Dolphinsd also so worth it
Meteora to the Monastries, long day but its an opportunity not to be missed if you get the chance - 48 euros pp, bit of a trek but worth it
Walking in the olive groves, we did a fair walk just followed a path till we wanted to turn back
La Parga Castle for a few drinks, very relaxed atmosphere overlooking the main harbour and excellant service
Bacchos Restaurant, as you look to the main eaterise from harbour with the sea to your back it is to the right. Staff the best, food the best, and lots of it, mostly too much, best place in our opinion by far
Anthousa Village - on way to Ali Pachas Castle, again we walked and is a lovely village, nice bakery and places to eat and drink - a must to give that quaint old Greek Village feel
Palantinos Hotel Bar, we stayed at Maria and Eleni so this was a nice stop and rest for cold drinks and reasonable prices, again staff excellant
Valtos Beach - very nice, has to be seen

Recommend Parga to others : Yes

Stuart went to Parga on
Saturday 18th July 2009 for 7 days

Weather : The weather in Parga was glorious in the first couple of days we had a little bit of thunder late afternoon or early evening but no rain.
Three days in the first week it was 40 - 45 degrees then went back to its normal heat of around 35 degrees, second week we had the same again three days at an exceptional heat then back to 35 degrees on the days it was very hot you could not stay on the beach it was easier to stay around the apartments and spend time in the pool and keep cool.

Holiday : We stayed at the Epvalis Studios the family who run it are very nice and they look after you during your stay.
We enjoyed Parga very much, very pretty,beaches were lovely. plenty of restaurants and bars, we spent some nights in the rock bar it is situated on the small street that takes you to the harbour front. that leads you to the anchor which seems to be the focal point for you to get your bearings. we would return to Parga in the future and go back to the Epivalis studios.

Places Recommended : We had two trips on the Parga tourist train they both go daily, one takes you to Ali Pasha's castle, takes about two hours in total the other takes you to the water mill which takes about one and three quarters, they were both interesting trips you also see some of the countryside. there are plenty of boat trips ie; Corfu, Paxos anti Paxos and many more you can get the water taxis to the beaches they run every fifteen minutes or so daily.

Recommend Parga to others : Yes
