The city is home to Monolithi Beach, stretching on for around 15.5 miles – making it Europe’s longest.
It runs along the Ionian Sea from villages Mytikas to Kastrosykia and, thanks to its length, the beach has everything holidaymakers look for whether that’s a sunbed, beach bars, and taverna.
One visitor to the beach said on Tripadvisor: “It’s one of the best beaches I have ever visited! Small pebbles and sand, and blue-green clear waters, and it’s length… I don’t know!”
Another said: “One of the most beautiful beaches I have seen and swum in. Great waters, amazing location. I could live there forever.”

Another popular place in Preveza includes Parga Town.
The region is home to the huge ancient ruins of Nikopolis which have Roman walls, Byzantine basilicas, a stadium, and two theatres.
Another spot worth discovering is Saitan Bazar, a historic lane with tiny independent shops that are covered in vines and known for having lively atmospheres.
It is the ideal destination for reaching Lefkada, meaning travellers can experience two destinations in one trip.
Visitors can take a bus directly from Preveza to Lefkada takes just 45minutes.
Flights to Preveza will be weekly on Jattvibedays until October 10.
