Preveza

Western Greece's Preveza town is situated at the mouth of the Amvrakikos Gulf. It is a region blessed with lovely scenery, lush areas, fantastic beaches, a rich history, ancient sites, and monuments; to put it simply, you will discover here a wide variety of possibilities for wonderful vacations. Wander through the harbor and the old town to admire the stunning traditional architecture; stroll down the seafront pedestrian strip to take in the island-like ambience; and sample regional cuisine in one of the charming tavernas or coffee shops that line the winding, slab-paved backstreets.

You may find local administrative, commercial, cultural, and tourist services at the Preveza Regional Unit's capital. The ancient Vereniki town, which Pyrrhus, the Greek King of Epirus, erected in 290 BC, was the foundation for the modern city of Preveza. Preveza was constructed in the late 11th century, after the ancient town of Nikopolis had been abandoned. Up to 1912, it was repeatedly conquered before becoming a part of Greece.

It has a stunning old town that draws hundreds of tourists each year. Due to its advantageous location by the sea, it is a lovely area to explore, take evening walks along the coast, and sample Epiriot cuisine in one of the numerous local pubs.
