Parga Beach Resort review
Rooms and facilities
The sprawling estate is undoubtedly a botanical feast for the senses, all rooms and suites are carefully scattered between vibrant flowering flora and centuries-old olive trees. The greenery is so abundant and lush that you will be surprised to discover that there are more than a hundred rooms hidden in the resort. With chic contemporary interiors and stylish nods to their Mediterranean heritage, each room is appointed with families in mind. Many suites also have the added benefit of a private plunge pool, perfect for an early morning dip.
Avoiding the dreaded “mega-pool” favored by many family-friendly resorts, Parga Beach resorts feature four smaller pools nestled in their verdant gardens. Each pool has a different vibe, some a little rowdy for kids and others very grown-up and laid-back, offering something for everyone. Indoor and outdoor play areas ensure no one will be bored during your stay, and there’s the Blossom Wellness Center for all your more tranquil adult indulgences.
Food and drink
Local cuisine is at the heart of Parga Beach Hotel, so guests can take time to sip and savor the best of this bountiful region. Knowledgeable and enthusiastic staff are always on hand to offer insight into local producers and thoughtful recommendations based on your preferences. Lunches are to be enjoyed at the Thalasso restaurant; take refuge from the midday heat and slowly peruse their vast selection of mezes paired with a crisp local white wine.
Hotel Highlights
This season sees the opening of their new beachfront restaurant Alselea, with an a la carte menu focusing on high-end modern Greek cuisine. It’s perfect for a special occasion and best of all included in their hassle-free “Ultra All Inclusive” option. Visitors can enjoy a truly memorable meal in an unforgettable outdoor setting. Time your reservation for sunset for the extra wow factor (if the kids can wait that long!)
What to do nearby
From its prime position directly on Blue Flag-awarded Valtos Beach, the town of Parga is a short scenic water taxi ride away. With regular departures direct from the beach for 2 euros per person and no pre-booking required, venturing out of the resort is a breeze.
In the town of Parga, you will find a treasure trove of craft shops hidden along the cobbled streets. Look for plush linens to complement your vacation wardrobe and handmade leather goods that make great gifts. Plus, there’s a plethora of tavernas in the harbor and sightseeing trips into the mountains, on very adorable mini-trains – another sure hit with your little mates.
