Seafront dining, ancient Nicopolis and the wetlands of the Amvrakikos Gulf.
Preveza offers a relaxed pedestrian centre, strong seafood culture and easy access to Roman Nicopolis, lagoons and Ionian beaches.
Preveza's old centre opens onto a yacht harbour and long waterfront lined with tavernas. Sardines are a local speciality, reflecting the city's relationship with the enclosed, biologically rich Amvrakikos Gulf.
North of town, Nicopolis was founded by Augustus after the Battle of Actium and preserves walls, theatres, mosaics and an excellent museum. The Acheron River and broad beaches towards Parga make Preveza an unusually versatile base.
Practical information
Aktion Airport sits across the underwater road tunnel. A car helps with Nicopolis and beaches; use licensed guides for sensitive wetland areas.
