Sun-Soaked Serenity at Ninos Grand Beach Resort
📍 <h2>Discover Preveza & The Epirus Riviera</h2><p>Located on the stunning Ionian coast of the Epirus region, Kastrosykia and the neighbouring village of Kanali boast some of Europe's longest and most beautiful sandy stretches, notably the sweeping Monolithi Beach. Just a short drive south lies the charming harbour town of Preveza, perched at the mouth of the ecologically vital Amvrakikos Gulf. This enchanting, lesser-known region of mainland Greece perfectly balances lush green landscapes, crystal-clear turquoise waters, and a rich historical tapestry, all whilst remaining wonderfully uncrowded compared to the typical tourist hotspots. </p><p></p><p></p><h3>🏖️ Things to Do</h3><ul><li>Beach Hopping: Unwind on the golden sands of Monolithi Beach, which stretches for over 13 miles and is fringed by a protective eucalyptus forest. For families or those seeking something more secluded, the shallow waters of Alonaki and Artolithia are spectacular. </li><li>Dolphin Watching Cruises: Take a scenic boat trip around the Amvrakikos Gulf, a protected national park famous for its resident population of bottlenose dolphins, loggerhead turtles, and diverse birdlife. </li><li>Acheron River Adventures: Head inland to the breathtaking Acheron Springs in Glyki. Here, you can hike through verdant gorges, wade in the icy, crystal-clear river, or try exciting activities like rafting, horseback riding, and kayaking. </li><li>Island Hop by Car: Cross the connecting bridge just south of Preveza to easily explore the neighbouring Ionian island of Lefkada—no ferry required! </li></ul><p></p><h3>🏛️ Places to Visit</h3><ul><li>Ancient Nikopolis & Museum: Step back in time at this vast archaeological site just north of Preveza. Founded by the Roman Emperor Octavian after his famous naval victory over Mark Antony and Cleopatra, it features impressive Roman walls, an odeum, and a dedicated modern museum. </li><li>Preveza Old Town & Saitan Bazaar: Lose yourself in the atmospheric cobbled streets of Preveza's old town. Stroll past the Venetian Clock Tower and through the legendary 'Saitan Bazaar' (Devil’s Bazaar), a picturesque maze bursting with character, local boutiques, and flower-draped alleys. </li><li>The Zalongo Monument: High in the mountains above Kanali, visit this imposing monument commemorating the bravery of the Souliot women who danced off the cliff edge in 1803 rather than surrender to Ottoman forces. The panoramic views from the top are magnificent. </li><li>The Nekromanteion of Acheron: Discover the ancient Greek temple of necromancy in Mesopotamos, mythologically believed to be the doorway to Hades and the underworld.</li><li></li></ul><h3>🍽️ Places to Eat & Drink</h3><ul><li>Seafood by the Marina: Preveza is highly regarded throughout Greece for its phenomenal seafood. Try the traditional tavernas along the waterfront or tucked inside the Saitan Bazaar for local specialities like Amvrakikos Gulf prawns, grilled sardines, and petali (a uniquely prepared local white fish). Highly rated authentic spots include Treli Garida for meze and Amvrosios for fresh daily catches. </li><li>Beachside Tavernas in Kanali & Kastrosykia: For a relaxed vibe close to the resort, the beachfront tavernas in Kanali offer magnificent sunset views. Miriounis is a popular local choice for fantastic, simple Greek dishes and fresh seafood right on the shoreline. </li><li>Café Culture & Sweet Treats: The Greeks take their coffee seriously. Grab an iced coffee at one of the stylish spots around Androutsos Square or the Marina. For a sweet treat, grab traditional loukoumades (Greek doughnuts soaked in honey) or roasted corn from street vendors whilst strolling along the lively waterfront promenade at dusk. </li></ul>🌍 Greece👥 2 Guests✈️ Bristol (BRI)
