Over the last few years Parga became truly popular! Each year there are more and more tourists who not only visit this place but return to it. Vibrant and relatively calm Parga is located on the northwest mainland of Greece, between cities Preveza and Igumenitsa. Secluded bay of Ionian sea gives it another vibe, it reminds me of lovely and romantic towns of Amalfi coast in Italy...
Small and adorable shops, narrow streets, traditional taverns and pretty restaurants with international cuisine, olive and orange trees, wonderful beaches with golden sand and crystal clear water, good hotels and numerous rooms/houses to rent, camping options...
See below the recap of all places I visited during my short stay in Parga, and some travel tips if you plan to visit Parga! One thing is for sure- you won't regret if you choose this destination!

Tokom poslednjih nekoliko godina Parga je postala izrazito popularna! Svake godine sve je vise i vise turista koji ne samo da posecuju ovo mesto nego mu se iznova vracaju. Zivopisna i relativno mirna Parga je locirana na severno-zapadnoj teritoriji Grcke, izmedju gradova Preveza i Igumenica. Izolovan zaliv Jonskog mora daje mestu drugaciji sarm, nesto sto me podseca na ljupke i romanticne primorske gradice obale Amalfi u Italiji…
Male i sarmantne radnjice, uske ulicice, tradicionalne taverne i lepi restorani sa internacionalnom kuhinjom, maslinjaci i stabla pomorandze, divne plaze sa zlatnim peskom i kristalno cistom vodom, dobri hoteli i brojne sobe/kuce za iznajmljivanje, mogucnost kampovanja…
Pogledajte u nastavku pregled svih lokacija koje sam obisla tokom mog kratkog boravka u Pargi, i pokoji savet ako planirate da posetite Pargu. Jedna stvar je sigurna- necete zazaliti ako se odlucite za ovu destinaciju!

I wrote about captivating turquoise waters of Sarakiniko beach in Parga in this post, and today I'm sharing with you the additional dose of that beauty! If you feel a bit nostalgic about summer, you can always check my YouTube channel- there are soooo many summerish travel videos!
Pisala sam o predivnoj tirkiznoj vodi Sarakiniko plaze u Pargi u ovom postu, a danas delim sa vama dodatnu dozu te lepote! Ako osecate blagu nostalgiju za letom, uvek mozete skoknuti do mog YouTube kanala gde cete pronaci bezbroj letnjih video snimaka!
Sarakiniko beach is something that you must must muuuust
see if you ever visit Parga (if you've already been in Parga, I hope that you've visited this beach)! Ok, to be
honest, beach as a beach (although very finely organized) is nothing
special, but the color of the water is a fascinating, enchanting, mesmerizingly turquoise- just the way I love it!
Sarakiniko
beach is situated some 12km from Parga, and perhaps the easiest
way to get there is by the boat. The boat starts at 11am from the small yet cute port of Parga, and returns in the late afternoon hours...
Sarakiniko plaza je nesto sto morate morate morateeee videti ako se ikada nadjete u Pargi (ako ste vec bili u Pargi, nadam se da ste posetili ovu plazu)! Ok, da se ne lazemo, plaza kao plaza (iako vrlo fino organizovana) nije nista specijalno, ali boja vode je fascinantna, ocaravajuca, hipnotisuce tirkizna- hm bas onakva kakvu ja volim!
Sarakiniko plaza je udaljena nekih 12km od same Parge, a mozda je najlakse doci brodicem. Krece se u 11h iz male ali slatke luke Parge, a vraca se u kasnim podnevnim casovima...
Wishing you a lovely day with a new travel video!:) I wrote about Lichnos beach (located close to Parga) in this post, and about luxurious "Lichnos beach hotel & suites" here. And now you can see how both beach and hotel look like! p.s. For more travel videos, I invite you to subscribe to my YouTube channel!
Zelim vam prijatan dan sa novim travel snimkom!:) Pisala sam o Lihnos plazi (koja se nalazi blizu Parge) u ovom postu, a o luksuznom "Lichnos beach hotel & suites" ovde. A sad mozete videti "uzivo" kako i plaza i hotel izgledaju! p.s. Za vise travel klipova, pozivam vas da se prikljucite mom YouTube kanalu!
Here's one more summerish travel video: Valtos beach in Parga! I already wrote about Valtos beach in this post, and shared many photos, so be sure to check it! And if you want to see more travel videos, visit my YouTube channel!
Evo jos jednog letnjeg travel klipa: Valtos plaza u Pargi! Vec sam pisala o Valtos plazi u ovom postu, i podelila gomilu slika, tako da obavezno proverite! A ako zelite da vidite jos travel klipova, posetite moj YouTube kanal!
I would say that "Lichnos beach hotel & suites" is by far the best, the most luxurious and the most beautiful hotel in Parga! This five-star hotel is located near Parga town, it has its own beach and outdoor pool, and wonderful sea-view. Just check these photos of hotel's exterior, and see for yourself!
Rekla bih da je "Lichnos beach hotel & suites" definitivno najbolji, najluksuzniji i najlepsi hotel u Pargi. Ovaj hotel sa pet zvezdica se nalazi blizu same Parge, ima sopstvenu plazu i otvoren bazen, i pruza predivan pogled na more. Pogledajte samo ove fotografije eksterijera hotela, pa se uverite sami!
If you decide to spend some days in Parga, Lichnos beach is one of the destinations that you simply shouldn't skip! It
is located a few kilometers from Parga, and can be reached: by
foot (about an hour and a half), road (about 10 minutes) or by boat
(about 25min). We came to this beach by boat...
Lichnos beach is a quite big and a long one, both sandy and pebbly, and nicely organized. Water of the sea is more greenish, and it goes so well with the surrounding vegetation and olive trees. In this region are located "Lichnos beach hotel" and a camping area...
Ukoliko ste se odlucili za odmor u Pargi, Lihnos plaza je jedna od destinacija koju ne smete zaobici! Udaljena je nekoliko kilometara od Parge, i do nje se moze stici: peske (oko sat i po vremena), magistralom (10-tak minuta kolima) ili brodicem (oko 25min). Mi smo do ove plaze dosli brodicem...
Lihnos plaza je poveca i duga, peskovito-sljunkovita, i fino organizovana. Boja vode vise vuce na zeleno, i potpuno se slaze sa okolnom vegetacijom i maslinjacima. U ovom podrucju se nalaze "Lichnos beach hotel" i prostor za kampovanje...
I'm wishing you a really really good morning with a new travel video!:) If you haven't already you can read about Parga here, and about its main beaches (Krioneri and Piso Krioneri) in this post. Enjoy the video! And if you want to see more "shots on the move" from my trips, all you need to do is to hang out with me on my YouTube channel!
Novi travel video i ja vam zelimo dobro jutro!:) Ako vec niste mozete procitati o Pargi ovde, a o njenim gradskim plazama (Krioneri i Piso Krioneri) u ovom postu. Uzivajte u klipu! A ako zelite da vidite jos "snimaka u pokretu" sa mojih putovanja, sve sto treba da uradite je da skoknete do mog YouTube kanala!
Here is a short video where you can see The Castle of Parga called Kastro! If you skipped my blog post about this must-see tourist attraction, check it here. More travel videos are coming soon, so be sure to subscribe to my YouTube channel!:)
Evo kratkog video klipa gde mozete videti Tvrdjavu Parge zvanu Kastro! Ako ste preskocili moj blog post o ovoj turistickoj atrakciji koju obavezno morate videti kada se nadjete u Pargi, pogledajte ga ovde. Bice jos novih travel klipova, tako da vas pozivam da se prikljucite mom YouTube kanalu!:)
If you don't like Parga's main beaches, then your next choice is sandy and rather long Valtos beach! But
there is a catch if you go on foot from the center- you have to be in
physical condition (if not, after a few days of "walk from the
center to Valtos beach" you'll be ready to run a marathon, lol)!:) In order to reach Valtos beach, which is located right from the port and the center of Parga, you need to "conquer" the hill (one way leads to The Castle): or you climb the stairs or you choose other streets, which are again uphill. Luckily the whole route is interesting because there are so many souvenir shops, bars, restaurants and taverns! And if you do not want to torture yourself, then just pay 4e for a return ticket, and some small boat will take you from the port to the beach and back! :)
Ako vam se gradske plaze Parge ne svidjaju, sledeci izbor je pescana i prilicno duga Valtos plaza! Ali postoji jedna zackoljica ako idete peske iz centra- morate biti u fizickoj kondiciji (ako niste, nakon nekoliko dana "hoda od centra do Valtos plaze" bicete spremni za maraton, haha)!:) Naime da biste dosli do Valtos plaze koja se nalazi desno od luke i centra Parge, potrebno je da savladate uzvisenje (jednim putem prolazite pored Tvrdjave): ili idete stepenicama ili drugim ulicicama koje su opet uzbrdo. Srecom citav put je interesantan jer postoje brojne prodavnice suvenira, kafici, restorani i taverne! A ako ne zelite da se mucite, lepo platite 4e povratnu kartu kako biste brodicem stigli iz luke do plaze i nazad!:)
Almost every resort in Greece has its own main, so-called, "city beach", which is usually smaller
than the other beaches nearby, and it's always located near the center of
the resort. Parga, for example, has two city beaches: Krioneri and Piso Krioneri. They
are positioned next to each other (better to say one after the other,
hence the word "piso", which in Greek means: behind/in the back), divided by a rocky cliff. Piso Krioneri
beach is even smaller than Krioneri beach, and both are always crowded. I spent 5min on both beaches just to take some photos, 'cause (to be honest) city beaches rarely
attract me...
Skoro svako letovaliste u Grckoj ima svoju glavnu tj. narodski receno "gradsku plazu", koja je obicno manja od ostalih plaza u blizini, i uvek je locirana u blizini centra tog letovalista. Parga recimo ima dve gradske plaze: Krioneri i Piso Krioneri. One su smestene jedna do druge (bolje reci jedna iza druge, otuda i rec "piso" sto na grckom znaci pozadi/iza), samo ih deli jedna stenovita litica. Piso Krioneri plaza je cak manja od Krioneri plaze, i obe su uvek krcate. Ja se ni na jednoj nisam okupala, (da budem iskrena) gradske plaze me vrlo retko privlace...
Parga... lovely coastal town, located in the bay of (for my taste always cold) Ionian Sea, reminds me more of some Italian romantic town than a typical Greek resort. Although the
center of Parga I visited three times so far, last week for the first time I
stayed in this cute seaside town longer than a few hours (or more
precisely only 48 hours)!:)
Parga... simpaticno primorsko mesto, koje se nalazi u zalivu (meni uvek hladnog) Jonskog mora, vise podseca na italijanske romanticne gradice nego na tipicno grcko letovaliste. Iako sam centar Parge posetila tri puta do sada, prosle nedelje sam po prvi put ostala u ovom slatkom primorskom gradicu duze od nekoliko sati (tacnije svega 48h)!:)
What is typical for Parga are the houses painted in lively colors and very hilly terrain
between the center and Valtos beach. Now that you can call the exercise:
every day (sometimes twice a day) to walk from the center to the
villa where my mum stayed which is (what a coincidence, lol)
just above Valtos beach!
Ono sto je tipicno za Pargu su nacickane kucice okrecene u zivahne boje i
izuzetno brdovit reljef izmedju centra i Valtos plaze. E to vam je
gimnastika: svaki dan (nekad i dva puta dnevno) ici peske od centra do
vile u kojoj je mama bila smestena a koja je (kakva slucajnost, haha)
odmah iznad Valtos plaze!
There are places you must visit when you are in Parga, and one of these locations is Kastro, in other words: The Castle of Parga! This Venetian fortress, which is so lovely illuminated at night, was built at the beginning of the 15th century. It's located
on the top of Parga, on the hill that offers magnificent view of the
whole town of Parga, the deep blue sea and the beach called Valtos. This fortress was the first "typical tourist attraction" I
saw the first day (and I stayed only two days in Parga, lol), before my mum and I went to Sarakiniko beach by the boat!
Postoje mesta koje morate obici kada ste u Pargi, a jedna od tih lokacija je Kastro, drugim recima Tvrdjava Parga! Ova venecijanska tvrdjava, koja tako ljupko svetli nocu, je sagradjena pocetkom 15-og veka. Nalazi se na vrhu Parge, na uzvisenju sa kog se pruza predivan pogled na citav gradic, plavu morsku pucinu i na plazu Valtos. Ova tvrdjava je bila prva "tipicno turisticka atrakcija" koju sam videla prvog dana (a bila sam ukupno dva dana u Pargi, haha), pre nego sto smo se mama i ja uputile brodicem ka plazi Sarakiniko!
