Parga ( Mainland Greece)

Hi                                                                                                           We have just come back from a lovely holiday in Parga which is in the main land north western part of Greece opposite Corfu.              Parga lies on the Ionian coast.  Its a very green and lovely town, plenty of shops and restaurants.We stay in the Villa Coralli Hotel picture above and at the side here,  It was a lovely hotel with only 20 rooms small clean and very friendly.

  

 Views from our Balcony of the bay of Parga

 This is a view of the castle at the top of the hill,  no way could I walk up there as its steep with steps all the way.
It was used to protect the town from Invasions and built in the 11th century by the residents of Parga.  I\t has a checker history and before reconstruction in 1572 by the Venetians,  the turks demolished it once again,  The Venetians built it for the third time and last time making it stronger fortress and it stayed impregnable until 1819.  It was sold to the Ottomans,  today its a ruin.

This is a glass bottom submarine that goes around the bay and rocky islands,  I say its red and Vernon says its orange,  I will leave you to guess its colour.

 Here are some pictures of the bay and the rocky islands surrounding

Every night we had these gorgeous sunsets,  this picture was taken from the restaurant where we had an evening meal most nights,











Parga by night taken from our balcony 

Just so you know,  here we are enjoying a quite drink

We did a train ride which I will do another post about in the meantime I hope you enjoy the pictures of our holiday
