Preveza is a small, quaint town located in the northwest coast of Greece. This is one of the few places in Greece that has not fully succumbed to unruly tourist development. It has miles and miles of unspoiled beaches on the western coast with crystal clear water and very little development on the beachfront.

The area has not been promoted much touristically and it is mainly a vacation destination for Greeks. I searched on the internet for material on Preveza and found very little. The major tourist guides like Frommers, Fodors, Virtual Tourist, etc hardly even mention it!

Your best bet is to not stay in town but rather drive north along the road to Parga and Igoumenitsa (Route E-55). About 10 to 15Km outside the town of Preveza you'll find lots of villages like Mitikas, Kanali (this is where I stay), Kastrosikia, Vrahos, Loutsa, etc. There you'll find plenty of small hotels and studios for rent and advanced reservations are not needed. Prices are very inexpensive; accommodation for 4 people in a studio ranges between 25€ and 40€ per night even in August.

If you get bored, you can always drive into town or take short day trips to nearby destinations like Parga, Lefkada, Ioannina, etc. This is a great place for a relaxing or family-style vacation.
