You could go on your own to the stunning river Acheron and along the way, you could visit Nekromantion (ancient sanctuary dedicated to the God of the underworld, Hades). Acheron and Nekromantion are 55km away. On this occasion, you could also visit beautiful beaches Ammoudia, Alonaki Fanariou and Kerentza (Ormos Odysseas) which are not far from Vrachos and Loutsa. In a place called Kanali, next to Preveza, within the same-named hotel (Kanali Hotel) you could also visit a mini aqua park.

It is more beautiful than expected. Preveza has a large promenade and the harbor where the sailboats, yachts, canoes and small boats are anchored. There are a lot of restaurants and cafes along the coast, but the most beautiful part of the city is the old town, which starts right on the coast and spreads to the inner city. In the old town, you will see narrow, cobbled streets full of shops, boutiques, restaurants, traditional taverns… From the harbor, you could go to short cruises on which is 100% guaranteed that you will see dolphins. The cruises are within the Amvrakikos gulf where the Preveza is located. In Preveza, you can really enjoy it.

Nearby Kanali, 20km from Vrachos, there are the remains of an ancient city called Nicopolis which once had 30.000 inhabitants. It was built in honor of a great Octavian’s victory against Mark Antony’s and Cleopatra’s combined forces.

Being close to Parga and Preveza and also Lefkada, which is 60km away, provides the possibility of one active vacation, but at the same time you could wake up with the sound of waves in one of the facilities with a direct sea view in Vrachos.

There is a constant breeze, especially in the hottest days. The sea is warmer than on the beaches in Parga or around it.

There is no post office, but there are mailboxes where you could send postcards. The stamps can be bought in the stores along with the postcards.
