Varcarola on August 15

Parga is ready to give unique moments to the locals and thousands of visitors again this year, with the events it organizes on the fifteenth of August. The Parginas or Kanarias are events of both a religious and historical nature starting from the islet of Panagia, in front of the city of Parga. On August 15, the "barkarola" is revived, a custom which represents the return of the Parginians and the Holy Heirs to the now free city of Parga, since according to the history of the city, the inhabitants abandoned it when it was sold by the English to Ali Pasha in 1819. The ships arrive at the port where a crowd of people is waiting and hundreds of sparklers light up the sky.

Litany on August 6 of Panagiopoula

The celebration is always fixed on August 6, the day of the inauguration of the church of the same name founded in Tabor by Saint Helen, mother of Constantine the Great. At the Transfiguration of Christ, we celebrate an event in his life, which has the same significance for our salvation as his incarnation and resurrection. That is, as great and essential for our salvation is the feast of Christmas and Resurrection, so great and essential is the feast of the Transfiguration. That is why our Church placed it celebratory in the center of the period from Easter to Christmas. So that these three holidays - which are separated by approximately the same period of 4 months - dominate the annual calendar and constitute the main spiritual stations of the human soul. And because it is a great holiday, fasting is recommended before it, just like Christmas and Easter.

Easter festival

Parga is a summer destination par excellence. The Parginas or Kanarias, the events that take place on the fifteenth of August, attract a large number of people. On the evening of the 14th of August, a festival is held in Nisaki tis Panagia, while the next day is Varkarola, the representation of the return of the Parginians and their sacred relics to their homeland after the exile caused by the sale of Parga by the English to Ali Pasha of Ioannina.

Vasiliki Megalo Chorio, Greece

The host was friendly..we found the house immediately with her directions. The house was clean, they changed our sheets and towels. We use the car only for the beaches. Everything was wonderful. Parking is not provided by the house, but it is next to, outside and at the bottom of the house. I suggest it. The hostess left us an iron that I wanted. You can also cook. Everything was perfect. Thank you Katerina.

Lucia Ranco, Lombardy, Italy

Very clean and tidy, we you enter the apartment it smells so good! we enjoyed the terrace with view for breakfast, aperitivo and also for one dinner at home. you can easily reach Parga downtown (and also the beach) on feet, but the place is just outisde the crowdy streets so it is very quiet. parking just outside yhe apartment. suggested!!

Emilie, Lyon France

Impeccable cleanliness. Very beautiful view. Beautiful city. Slight difficulty finding accommodation but very responsive host, even at a late hour, and that was great! I recommend. We would have liked to stay longer.
