Perched overlooking the warm Ionian sea in the Epirus region, Parga is reached by flying direct to Aktion Airport, followed by a one-hour transfer by car. From the moment I arrived in this quaint seaside town, I was greeted with a glorious backdrop of rustic-coloured buildings and unbeatable sea views with local tavernas and boutiques dotted along a myriad of winding cobbled streets. A WARM WELCOME Set on the sandy verge of Valtos Beach with an interrupted view of the Venetian Castle of Parga and far-flung views stretching across to the island of Paxos is the charming five-star Parga Beach Resort, perfect for honeymooners wanting to get away from it all. ROOM WITH A VIEW I was excited to stay at this luxurious yet relaxed retreat, open from late April until the end of October, that’s home to 158 contemporary bedrooms and 60 spacious suites decorated in earthy tones. The hotel’s best offerings for honeymooners are the 23 secluded new Garden Suites of which the Aura Suite with private pool became my weekend hideout. It featured a comfy super-king-size bed and doors opening on to a patio with a plunge pool – I couldn’t wait to jump in! Additional highlights include sun-soaked terraces with private balconies and launching in June are 43 new Eden and Aura suites filled with furnishings hand-crafted by local artisans. These popular additions to the resort make this honeymoon destination the perfect pick for a family-moon, with children welcome and an on-site nursery, plus the Phiome Kids Club that’s opening this summer.
