The beauty of the landscape, the crystal clear waters, the infinite
coastline and of course the characteristic olive grove led the pioneers of
Club M?diterran?e, in 1951, to build one of the first Clubs in the whole
world at Valtos. In this way, they combined Parga and Valtos in a unique
venture at that time and Parga become known all over the world. In 1979, the
Club was transferred from Parga to Corfu, but the region kept attracting
many visitors. Furthermore, the know-how acquired by the inhabitants of
Parga during those thirty years gave them the opportunity to offer their
visitors high quality services, with respect however to the environment and
the beauty of the landscape.
Let’s though take things from the beginning. Valtos is the longest beach of
Parga with 3 km length. It is situated near the bay of Parga and at the foot
of the cliff on which the castle, that has associated its history with the
history of Parga, is built. The clear waters of Valtos, as well as the small
distance from Parga attract many bathers. There are three ways to reach
Valtos: on foot, after passing the castle; by car, from the ring road of
Parga, as well as through the centre of Parga, if you have the nerve to do
it as there are a lot of traffic jams especially in the summer; and by small
boat, from the harbour of Parga, a beautiful trip especially by night.
Valtos beach is covered with sand (60%), as
well
as pebbles (30%). It is safe because it is surrounded by the bay of the
castle of Parga and the bay of Panagia Vlacherna, while the very long
coastline enables the natural renewal of the waters without the existence of
strong currents. Valtos is an organized beach with outdoor showers and
changing-rooms set up by the Municipality of Parga. Finally, at Valtos the
visitors can enjoy a large number of water sports. There are also
restaurants, mini markets etc.
