The whole scenery is mesmeric, with the ultimate combination of green and blue that defines the Ionian islands. This is why Parga has been called \u201can island on the shore\u201d. The colorful houses stand proudly along the promenade of the harbor, with dramatic views to the Ionian Sea and the quaint landscape. There are several caf\u00e9s and restaurants, fish taverns and a few bars in the area, most of them by the harbor. Fresh fish grilled and served to perfection, traditional recipes from Epirus and tasty treats from Greece and the rest of the world, you name it!<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.travel-zone-greece.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Parga-2-e1550152151976.jpg\" alt=\"Parga\" \/><\/p>\n<p>From Parga, you may choose to take on a cruise to Sivota islands or head to other Ionian islands like Paxos and Corfu. Acherontas river is also within small distance, making it an exquisite daily excursion for nature enthusiasts to enjoy. In Acherontas, you will indulge in rafting, horseback riding and of course a visit to the springs of this famous river. Everything is unspoiled, like the toll of time has not touched the region even the slightest bit.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.travel-zone-greece.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Parga-4-e1550152132801.jpg\" alt=\"Parga\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Explore Parga, a majestic destination where the past meets the present in a sublime fusion of culture, history and natural beauty.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Overlooking the Ionian Sea, Parga is a picture-perfect coastal town of Northern Greece.
