Reviewed By Nick C - Preston, United Kingdom
We were staying over 60 miles away from this magical place and were advised to go by the people we were staying with and are we glad we took their advice. We didn't` bother with the boat rides or pony trekking just walked, waded and swam as far as we could through the crystal clear ice cold water amid breath taking scenery. You could not help yourself from laughing and smiling all the way. Water shoes are a must as is a plastic bag for phones and camera. Only note of caution lunch at the riverside restaurant was very expensive and poor quality... take butties !
2. Nicopolis Museum
Overall Ratings

Nicopolis is an ancient city that was built on 31 B.C by Octavios after the batle of Aktio. If you translate it from Greek to English Nicopolis, means the city of victory. It is placed just outside the town of Preveza. It is great for someone that is interested in ancient history to visit that place. Also the museum that they recently built near the ancient city of Nicopolis is one of the most moderate and intresting musuems in Greece.

It is the best cultural heritage monument in Preveza. However, the new Nicopolis museum is not very close to the ancient city of Nicopolis. It is quite far away. The visitor might have the wrong impression that there is not any museum. On the contrary, the museum was recently built and it stands among the "must-do" in Preveza.

The castle is definitely worth visiting! The views to both Valtos beach and Parga town are great. Especially the view to Parga town was beautiful in the evening! We were lucky to be there during full moon, so we got amazing pictures. There is also a very nice cafe, so you can enjoy the view while having a drink.

There were many taverns at the back of the beach, so all was so nice. Our favorite beach if Monolithi, which is about a 30 minute drive south of this beach.

A 400 steps trail, leads you to the place where history of women of Zaloggo was written. Nice view, not very tiring. Some climbing bolted routes exist close to the steps in the middle of the way.

So hundreds of years a ago the church conned people to visit this place to speak to dead relatives. They had to fast for 30 days, pray constantly and pay for the privilege. Well nowadays you don't have to fast or pray but they still take your money to see something that isn't there. Basically there's just a stone the outline of the old buildings, one solid room that has an exhibition and a dark crypt. And that's it.
If you like this sort of historical ruin fine, but there's nothing of note at this site in my opinion.
9. Sarakiniko Beach

Reviewed By Eugen B - Constanta, Romania
The road descending towards Sarakiniko beach is steep and has many turns and 6 km long.
We were surprised to see that in mid-September the beach was almost full of tourists.
It is true that the beach Panorama is very beautiful but only after entering the water we manage to have a complete picture of this beach. The water was very warm and crystal clear.
The underwater landscape is also impressive making the snorkeling here a great pleasure.
We stay on this beach until sunset so we had three long rounds of snorkeling with a total of about 4 hours. We snorkel twice on the left side around the isolate rocks emerging from the water and once for 300 meters along the right rocky shore.
The best snorkeling playing ground is on the left side, along the left shore and around the big isolated rock. In the beginning the water depth is 2-4 meters, going deeper up to 10-12 meters. The underwater visibility was 25-30 meters and above.
The huge underwater boulders and rocks create an unique submerged landscape. There are also many small and medium size fish.
On the right side of the bay the rocky shoreline goes almost vertically under the water directly to depth of 6-8 meters, so on this side you do not have a resting area where you can touch the bottom with your feet.
On my snorkeling marking scale the score for Sarakiniko Beach is 5 from a maximum of 5 points. It was the best snorkeling beach that we found the entire coast between Syvota and Parga.

Take the train from Parga through lovely village of Anthoussa to the castle . Lots of wonderful views and a very historic place , not muck left but still worth the visit. It cost 8 euros to catch the road train and is worth the money , stopping in the village on the way back for a drink 2 hrs well worth doing
