Pantokratoras
Pantokratoras is located 2 km from Preveza. It is the second settlement that one encounters after the city towards the Ionian Sea. It is 400 meters from the submarine tunnel Preveza-Aktiou while the island of Lefkada is very close.
It was founded by Greek families in Asia Minor and the settlement continues by the descendants of the refugees until today. At the same time, the area is a place of new residents as it combines direct access to major cities, family environment and incomparable beauty. It is a tourist destination for those who want a quiet vacation and those who are interested in water activities. Finally at the Pantokratoras visitors can enjoy an idyllic sunset, perhaps the best in the area.
Pantokratoras’ Castle
The Castle of Pantokratoras is one of the “must visit” places in Preveza. Of course it is near to our villas! The history of the Castle is an important pillar of the history of Preveza. This is one of the 3 castles that the Ottoman local governor Ali Pasha built, after the occupation of the city at 1807. Its first name was Outz Kale, but in nowadays the Castle has its name by the Christian Church of Pantokratoras, which is inside.
The view from the Castle of the Ionian Sea and Amvrakikos Gulf is breathtaking!
