Preveza lies at the entrance to the Ambracian Gulf and is the capital of the homonymous department, bordering the departments of Ioannina, Thesprotia and Arta. The area is famous for its natural beauty, its magnificent coast on the Ionian Sea, its mild climate and its luxurious vegetation.
The city of Preveza is enchanting, with a long history through the centuries. Conquerors of the past have left their marks on the city influencing its architecture, with the narrow streets of cobblestone in the old town (Seitan Bazaar) and the 19th century mansions, while the promenade of the city is a strong reminder of the islands.
