Τhe best choice for surfing in Greece is in Parga. Parga is a town located in the northwestern part of the peripheral unit of Preveza. Anyone loving this sport would feel at home here. The white-crested waves are said to be some of the best in the Mediterranean Sea. Foreign magazines have referred to this place as the Hawaii of the Ionian Sea.
Surfing Trainer, G. Papandreou became involved in surfing with two friends, in 1993. Their inspiration was born in the Canary Islands, while they were on vacation. They learned the secrets and the techniques of this sport and came back to Greece to make it popular. Today, more than 500 athletes are sharing the same passion. In the area of Baltos, the water is shallow allowing the waves to touch the shore. Good balance on the surfboard, bent knees and open hands fulfill the general picture of a unique experience of riding the waves.
One of the first surfing clubs in the world has been set up in Parga. Parga has thrilling beauty, every corner has its own history and serenity, and islands close to Parga give the impression that they were always there to accompany the place.
Small houses with blue doors and windows, narrow back alleys, tiny shops, the Church of Saint Nicolaos and the Venetian Castle give a visitor the impression that Parga is a vivacious traditional and cultural treasure.
