Venetian Castle of Parga

Very interesting place to wander for an hour or two. Some impressive remains and, aside from some areas taped off for safety, pretty much allowed to explore everywhere. Would be good to see some info plaques around, but wiki will give you the history of the place. I didn’t visit the shop or museum so can’t comment on either

The Venetian Castle of Parga is a must-visit! The walk up is a bit steep, but once you reach the top you’re rewarded with stunning panoramic views over Parga, the bay, and the Ionian Sea. The ruins themselves are fascinating to wander through, with plenty of little pathways and hidden corners full of history. There are also cafés inside where you can relax and enjoy the scenery. A perfect mix of history, views, and atmosphere – definitely worth the climb!

Everytime I walk into an old church, castle or big ruin I start thinking ”how the heck did they build this hundreds years back in time. The same question now. This is an old ruin that was built to protect Parga from invasion. From land and see. There are a lot of dark rooms and passages all over. A nice view to both side of Parga and the see. In the middle of the ruin you can find a restaurant. Didn’t try that today. Interested hour spent there.

There is parking nearby. The castle is open till 9pm in the summer, there is no entrance fee. Once you are there you can enjoy a mesmerizing view. There is no option for walking to the top with a stroller but you can reach the first level from where you can still enjoy a great view.

This is definitely worth the walk. The views from the castle are spectacular. Although the walk around some of the castles paths are a little rocky and uneven to say the least, given good footwear and take your time and care they are worth the effort. The walk from Parga is in itself an uphill effort, with lots of little shops and places to eat and drink on the way. And the best but is it's free to explore.

The castle is in the city center. It's fascinating to see the cannons that defended Parga centuries ago. There are some excellent photo opportunities from the top. You can see the beach and the island clearly. However, I found the castle to be in disrepair.

Definetly should visit. It has a great view of Parga and the suroundings. Be carefull when inside especialy if you are walking to see the part that was added in Ottoman time. It's very slipery. There are aigns that is on your own risk but it's worth it.

We couldn't enter. The view is awesome, but you have to climb there through narrow streets full of people. I think it is better to take the train. I felt sorry for the people who had the hotel up there.
