The feel: Beach-focused: a base for days spent close to the water.
Good to know: Check the walk towards the old town before choosing your base. Water taxis run in season.
The setting
Valtos lies on the other side of the castle headland from central Parga. Its sand-and-pebble shoreline has organised beach facilities and places to eat.
Plan your beach day
Bring water shoes if you prefer them on pebbles, and check sunbed charges before settling down. Leave time for the return to town: a route that feels short on a map may include a climb.
Staying nearby
Compare a beachfront stay with somewhere farther back from the bay. Ask whether the advertised beach access involves a slope or steps, and where you would eat if you do not want to drive every evening.
