Lichnos combines pebble, clear deep water and a full line of summer services, with coastal caves adding interest for careful paddlers.
Our take
A broad Parga bay with caves at its southern edge
Lichnos is one of Parga's larger bays, with room for organised seating, tavernas and open shore. Olive-covered slopes frame the beach, while small caves near the southern rocks can be explored by kayak or paddle craft in calm weather.
The water deepens quickly and boat traffic crosses parts of the bay, so children need close supervision and swimmers should remain inside marked areas. Road access is straightforward but steep; a seasonal beach boat avoids the parking climb.
