Hotel Acropol

in Parga , Parga

 
  • Heart of Parga's old town
  • Delightful, comfortable rooms
  • Charming restaurant
Friendly service and extremely well-appointed rooms in the heart of the old town
You'll find Hotel Acropol tucked away in the narrow, winding streets of Parga's old town. A small, family-run hotel dating back to1884, it was the first hotel in the town. Since then, it's been run by the Zigouris family. Alexis Zigouris, the Swiss-trained chef, and his five brothers all chip in – from working behind the bar to waiting in the hotel's restaurant.

Décor-wise, it's modern and comfortable. In fact, luxury's very much the buzz word, epitomised by the hydro-massaging showers. Each bedroom has comfortable wooden furniture and a balcony, which either look out over the breakfast terrace or the street below. Some even offer partial views of the town's 14th-century castle.

When it comes to food, Continental breakfast is served on the terrace. Come mealtimes, it's transformed into the locally-renowned restaurant, Castello. You can also eat inside where a glass section of floor shows off the wine cellar below with its stock of over 3,500 bottles.

Parga is a town surrounded by olive groves – one of the main sources of local income. Elsewhere, the Venetian castle and a number of beaches are easily reached on foot from the harbourfront, while caiques leave daily to Paxos, which is just 20 kilometres away.

Your guide to Parga, Parga

“A favourite with the Greeks, Parga offers up an unbeatable mix of scenery, beaches and a carefree atmosphere.”

Sandwiched between mountains and a sweeping bay, Parga is one of those seaside towns you see on postcards. Colourful boats bob in the harbour, tavernas spill out onto cobbled streets, and whitewashed houses cling to the steep hillsides. It’s no wonder the town is as popular with the Greeks as it is with foreigners. Holidays here tend to be take-it-easy affairs, with eating and shopping topping the list of popular pastimes. But don’t plan too much – Parga is a great place to get lost in. Stroll through its maze of narrow alleyways and you’ll stumble upon postage stamp-sized stores, family-run meze bars and crumbling old churches. If you’re after the classic combination of sea and sand, meanwhile, the town has its own miniature beach, just five minutes from the harbour. For more extensive stretches though, you’ll have to head slightly further afield. The golden shores of Lichnos beach and Valtos beach are just a short taxi boat ride away, so they make for great day trips. Just make sure you head back to town for the evening, when Parga’s laid-back tempo gets turned up a notch. Waterfront tavernas fill up around dinner time, as people flock to sample the delicious Greek cuisine. And, later, lively bars and a few little clubs offer up drinks and tunes long into the night.
