A tour of Preveza, Parga and Amvrakikos Gulf looks like autumn in an island landscape. Take a tour of the city where the melancholic poet Karyotakis lived. Walk through the historic centre with its cobbled Satan’s Bazaar, the Tower and the sundial. Be transported to other times at the Castle of Pantokrator, a “breath” from the city and enjoy the unique sunset. Discover ancient Nicopolis, a “vast” city, a monument to the victory of the Roman emperor Octavian in the naval battle of Actium against Antony and Cleopatra. Climb the 410 steps leading up to the imposing rock with the impressive monument of the sacrifice of the Souliotis women in Zalongo. Experience something of summer in Parga with its lacy blue beaches and the unique view of the lush green Ionian Islands.<\/p>\n

The smell of roasted corn will accompany you on your stroll around the harbor while you will get “drunk” with the autumn scents of the flowers of the Prevezan nature.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

In the picturesque alleys of the town, near the port, modern sounds have taken the place of folk songs. With the accompaniment of clarinet and violin, the greatest instrumentalists of Greece used to “rouse” the Prevezans at their feasts and festivals.<\/p>\n

Enjoy the tasty “treasures” of the Amvrakikos Gulf, seafood meze such as roasted sardines, grilled sardines and Amvrakikos grabs in pancake with the accompaniment of the famous Prevezian ouzo or as a shrimp pasta with an excellent wine. Enjoy the traditional blackberry pie with onion leaves and feta cheese and sweeten yourself with the milk pie, almond cakes and the famous spoon sweets.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Go around the Amvrakikos Gulf by bike or car to admire the unique beauty of the landscape that unfolds around it. Walk along the stone path around the enchanting Lake Ziros with its aesthetic forest. Experience the beauty of nature through wonderful hiking trails in the forest of Lekatsas, in the forest of Agios Varnavas and indulge in the mystical landscape of the springs of the river Acheron.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

INFO In Mesopotamos is the cemetery of Acheron. Here, according to the ancients, were the gates of the Underworld and was the meeting point of the living with the dead. Its visitors, through trials and tribulations, tried to communicate with their “lost” relatives and loved ones.<\/p>\n
