Nearby is Lake Ziros, a landmark of special beauty. We will also go to Mount Zalongo, a historic place where the sad dance of Zalongos took place, where many women and their children fell from this mountain to escape the slavery of the Turkish conquerors. The last point of interest is the river Acheron, with its Necromancer.

Preveza looks like an island and combines a quiet holiday with cosmopolitan life. Narrow alleys and neoclassical buildings are some of its features. In the summer, a lot of people come from both the rest of Greece and from abroad with sailboats that sail along the waterfront. Its shops offer delicious foodand a nice view of the sea.
