About Kryoneri Beach (Parga)
Kryoneri is the main beach of Parga, right in the town and a short walk from the centre. It looks straight across the bay to the islet of Panagia and its church. A small, tall rock just offshore in the middle of the bay is called Skorda by the locals.
Immediately to the east is Piso Kryoneri, a small beach also inside the town, closed in by high rocks. The church of Agios Athanasios stands at Kryoneri.
Kryoneri has been a subject for visitors for a long time: Archduke Ludwig Salvator of Austria published an engraving of its shore and rocks in 1907.
Good to know
- Since it is in the town, it is the easiest beach to reach without a car.
- For a smaller cove, look for Piso Kryoneri just to the east.
Help keep it unspoiled: take your rubbish with you, never light fires outdoors in summer, and respect wildlife and local life. How to travel responsibly
