Location
About the surrounding area of Villa VanillaVilla Vanilla is located in a very peaceful spot in Drosia, on the outskirts of Preveza. It is a wonderful location within easy reach of Nikopolis, the largest saved city from the Roman Empire. It is a very short drive or a two-and-a-half kilometre walk into Preveza where you will find a wonderful array of tourist amenities. Preveza is incredibly scenic with some Italian influence. Its yacht harbour is very glamorous and although the town is small, it is certainly lively. It enjoys a car-free waterfront and an attractive old quarter. Preveza sits in an area blessed with beautiful landscapes, lush greenery, superb beaches and many ancient sites and monuments. Its seaside pedestrian street offers some wonderful restaurants and cafes.
The present-day Preveza was built on the site of ancient Vereniki town which was founded by Pyrrhus, the Greek King of Epirus in 290BC. Preveza was built during the late 11th century after Nikopolis was deserted. With a wonderful blend of laid-back life and cosmopolitan charm, Preveza and its neighbouring towns Sovita and Parga are often called the Amalfi Coast of Greece, thanks to their pretty harbours and colourful houses.
Nikopolis is located eight kilometres from Preveza, in Epirus. It was built by the Roman Emperor Octavian after his victory at Aktion against Marc Antony and Cleopatra VII of Egypt. The size and extensive walls of the site are remarkable. You will discover many interesting monuments on this site between the Mazoma lagoon at the Amvrakikos Gulf and the Ionian Sea. During the Roman and early Byzantine periods, Nikopolis flourished as the capital. The Archaeological Museum of Nikopolis opened in 2009 and displays many exhibits.
Preveza sits on a thin strip of land only half an hour from Lefkada. Lefkada is separated from Preveza by a floating bridge which boasts incredible views across a lagoon famous for its birdlife. There are plenty of boat trips from Preveza including dolphin-watching cruises. Visitors learn about the local ecosystems and enjoy a delicious meal on the trip. There is also the chance to dive into the crystal-clear water. You will sail past islets full of cormorants, silver pelicans, herons and other sea birds while on the lookout for dolphins playing in the water. In the summer months, you might even see some sea turtles.
Equestrian Park is a family business ten minutes from the centre of Preveza. Horse lovers can enjoy rides by the sea, in the forest and overlooking the city. You can enjoy lessons too.
Those that enjoy ouzo can head to Ouzo Roubou, an excellent traditional ouzo distillery. It is located in the centre of Preveza where its shop also offers a huge selection of the finest Greek wines.

Region
A stay on the Ionian coast allows you to soak up the natural beauty, idyllic beaches and ancient history of this captivating part of mainland Greece. You can also dip into island life by sailing across to Paxos and Anti-Paxos.
The beautiful town of Parga, just an hours drive from Preveza Airport, is backed by imposing hills and verdant landscapes. Wander around the old town’s cobbled lanes admiring colourful houses, inviting shops and restaurants by the waterfront. Climb to the ruins of the Venetian Castle dating back to the 15th century and marvel at the extraordinary views of the Ionian and its islands.
Considered one of the finest beaches in Greece, Valtos Beach awaits on the other side of the castle, a calm and protected bay with turquoise-coloured water and a range of watersports including jet-ski. There’s another gorgeous bay at Lichnos with crystal-clear sea and an incredible natural outlook whilst the peaceful Agios Giannakis is a paradise for snorkellers.
Back by the harbourfront, excursions depart Parga to Paxos and Anti-Paxos for a wonderful day out. Boat trips also take you to the famous Aphrodite’s cave, only accessible by sea - for a truly amazing experience, explore the caves by kayak. Meanwhile, ferries to Corfu and beyond depart from the bustling port of Igoumenitsa, around a 45-minute drive away.
Away from the coast, adventurous guests will adore the Acheron River for kayaking, rafting, river trekking, hiking and horse-riding surrounding by magnificent landscapes, located between Glyki and Ammoudia.

Children enjoy learning about history on their trip to Preveza. There are plenty of ancient buildings, monuments and archaeological sites to visit. The Zalongo Memorial is a fantastic monument above the village of Kamarina. It has a sad past but is an incredible historic rock in honour of heroines who chose death over disgrace and misery. The monument was placed at the top of the cliff in 1961, the work of sculptor Georgios Zongolopoulos and architect Patroklos Karantinos. The female figures gradually grow in size and are eighteen metres long and thirteen metres high. Children enjoy visiting the Nikopolis Museum and the ancient city built in 31 BC by Octavius.
There are many boat trips and cruises that families can take. Amvrakikos Cruises offer authentic Greek experiences where children can be on the lookout for bottlenose dolphins and Kareta Kareta turtles. While on the boat, children enjoy a delicious meal and will be given the chance to jump into the water.
Preveza is a wonderful resort with superb beaches close by. The coastline includes endless golden sandy beaches as well as small rocky coves with caves and turquoise water. Kyani Akti is the most popular beach in the town. It boasts fine sand and shallow warm water. The most famous beach of Preveza is Monolithic which has won many awards. It stretches for over twenty kilometres and is backed by a lush forest. Pantokratora Beach is protected by rocks and looks out to the island of Lefkada. The beach at Ammoudia enjoys fine sand and also enjoys the cold water of a river. Artolithia is located near Zalongos, enjoying large rocks that line up in the sea.
