This is the city I was born and raised. Welcome to Preveza, a coastal city, located between the Ionian Sea and the Ambracian Gulf, in northwestern Greece. It is the capital of the regional unit of Preveza, which is part of the region of Epirus.
The city is a tourist and sailing point, not only of the Ionian Sea, but of the entire Adriatic. The modern marina, is capable of accommodating 300 boats, including sailing and luxury yachts from all over the world. And this, is making the city, the ideal starting point for cruises to the Ionian Sea.
Preveza is considered a crossroads. Some of Greece's best summer destinations, are very close to the city, including the island of Lefkada, Parga and the majestic Acheron River, which, according to Greek Mythology was considered one of the Gates of Hades, and it is also less than an hour drive.
The city of Preveza, is easily accessible via the immersed tunnel of Aktion. State of the art design and construction techniques, resulted in a unique, immersed concrete tunnel, that gave not only the city, but the entire region of Epirus, the opportunity to further evolve. The total length of the tunnel, is 1,510 meters, and the immersed tube section, is 910 meters.
Nicopolis ( which means "the victory city") is probably the largest in size ancient city in Greece, but still few have heard about it! It is located about eight kilometres away from Preveza and it was built by the Roman emperor Octavian after his victory at Aktion against Antony and Cleopatra of Egypt! The Archaeological site of Nikopolis is included in the tentative list of UNESCO World Heritage Sites in Greece.
Driving 14 minutes to the north, you'll meet the beautiful coastal village of Mytikas. This is a quite fishing village, and this is where we chose to stay for yet another time. Mytika Hotel Apartments is an excellent choice. We stayed very pleased with the facilities, service and hospitality in 2019, so we decided to revisit the apartments in 2021 as well. If you are thinking about visiting the area, you'll find a link of the apartments below.
Near Preveza, you'll find beautiful sandy beaches. Kanali, Monolithi, Kastrosykia and Artolithia Beach are only some of the countless gorgeous beaches you can visit.
The city and broader area, has many much to offer and probably not shown in this video. But I guess this is up to you to find out. if you liked this video, please give it a thumps up and share. I'm John, and I'll see you on the next one.
