Avra Hotel is at Gaki Zeri 21, in the old town of Parga, on the stone steps just below the Venetian Castle. Cars cannot reach the door: drive or take a taxi to the castle entrance, then walk about 2 minutes down the steps.
Travelling with big suitcases?
Avra sits on the traditional stone steps of the old town, so we do not recommend walking far with heavy or large luggage. The easy way: your car or a taxi to the castle entrance, then 2 minutes down the steps.
By car
Driving to the castle, step by step
Follow the ring road around Parga and do not drive into the town centre.
At the junction, straight on goes to the villages of Anthousa, Agia and Perdika. Turn left, towards Valtos beach and the Venetian Castle.
At the second junction do not turn: carry straight on into the one-way lane.
The lane is narrow. Before you drive down, check that no car is coming up. If you meet one halfway, wait for it to reverse.
The lane ends at the Venetian Castle, where a small open area lets you leave the car for a moment and unload your luggage.
The hotel is 2 minutes down the steps.
By bus
From the bus stop: taxi to the castle
When you get off the bus, call a taxi and ask to be dropped at the entrance of the Venetian Castle of Parga. From there, Avra is 2 minutes down the steps.
