Tucked away where the Ionian Sea meets the Ambracian Gulf, Preveza is an unspoiled coastal town that offers a perfect blend of history, nature, and authentic Greek charm. Often overshadowed by its better known neighbours, Preveza remains one of Greece’s best kept secret, ideal for travellers seeking a quieter, more genuine holiday experience.
The town’s picturesque harbour, lively promenade, and charming old town with neoclassical architecture create a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere. Wander through cobbled alleys, enjoy a coffee by the sea, or explore the impressive archaeological site of Nicopolis, founded by Emperor Augustus to commemorate his victory at Actium.
Preveza is also known for its long sandy beaches, including Monolithi, one of Europe’s longest, where clear waters and golden sands stretch for miles. Nature lovers will appreciate the unique wetlands of the Ambracian Gulf, home to rare bird species and stunning sunsets.
The region is a food lover’s paradise, especially famous for its fresh seafood. Enjoy traditional Greek cuisine at one of the many tavernas along the seafront, where local flavours and warm hospitality take centre stage.
With Aktion Airport (PVK) just a short drive away, Preveza is both easily accessible and well connected to nearby highlights like Lefkada, Parga, and Sivota, making it a great base for exploring western Greece.
Whether you're looking for a peaceful retreat, a cultural escape, or a unique beach holiday, Preveza delivers a truly memorable Greek experience: beautiful, authentic, and refreshingly off the beaten path.
