Preveza Greece 8/2016

One more trip in Greece includes beautiful places and more...
Capital of the prefecture, built on the entrance of the Gulf of Amvrakikos. A modern city, administrative, commercial, intellectual and tourist center of the prefecture. Beautiful, traditional buildings adorn the port and the historical center while the pedestrian walkways and cobblestone streets lined with popular taverns and cafs remind us of the islands. The citys rich intellectual and artistic activities include frequent conferences, exhibitions and festivals.
Preveza is built on the location of ancient Vereniki which was founded by Pyrrhus, the king of Epirus,in 290 B.C. to honor his mother-in-law, Vereniki. The city was established towards the late 11th century, after Nikopolis was deserted. Many conquerors passed through the city until it was finally incorporated with Greece in 1912. Its port offers connections to the islands of the Ionian sea. It is located 426 km NW of Athens (via Rio-Antirio) and 440 km SW of Thessaloniki (via the Ioannina-Trikala-Larisa road).
The Coastline
The coast of the Prefecture of Preveza extends for 60 kilometres. Bays, peninsulas, gulfs, sandy beaches and rocks alternate harmoniously. Pine forests stretching down to the welcoming beaches provide the ideal combination of sun and shade. Unaffected by human intervention, the beaches are ready to welcome summer visitors, inspiring the respect to maintain this magnificent natural environment (http://www.visit-preveza.com/beaches).
