Das Eigentum — Ianos
The Ianos is a quiet, no-fuss three-star right on Preveza's seafront promenade. The lobby is small and tiled, with a reception desk that looks out onto the street — more functional than charming. It suits budget-conscious travellers who want a clean base for exploring the town and nearby beaches, not a resort with pools or gardens.
Chroniken von Preveza
Preveza was founded in the 4th century BC as Berenike, later passing through Roman, Byzantine, Venetian and Ottoman hands. Its old town still shows the narrow, stone-paved streets and low houses typical of Venetian occupation. The city became part of Greece in 1913 after the Balkan Wars. Today Preveza is a relaxed port town and gateway to the islands, known for its fishing harbour, lively waterfront cafes and the ancient ruins of Nikopolis just north of the centre.

May, June and September: warm enough for swimming (25-30°C), with fewer crowds than July-August and lower accommodation prices.
Peak / Festival Surge
July-August is the absolute peak, driven by Greek and European summer holidays. Hotel prices at Ianos can double during August. The many nearby beaches and the 'Preveza Summer Festival' (July-August, with concerts and theatre) attract the crowds.
Budget Schulter Saison
Late September and early October offer 20-25°C weather, smaller crowds and 20-30% discounts on rooms at Ianos compared to August.
Wetter & Verpackung
Preveza is famously breezy thanks to the summer meltemi wind, so sea temperatures rarely feel flat-calm. Pack a light windbreaker for evening ferry waits and a fleece for air-conditioned buses.
Live City Briefing veröffentlicht — Preveza
- The new ferry terminal at Agios Georgios (5 km south) started operation in late 2025, reducing traffic through the town centre for island ferries.

- The annual Preveza Summer Festival runs from 1 July to 30 August with free open-air concerts in the city's Roman odeon.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Ianos, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request upper floors (e.g., 3rd or 4th) at the rear side of the building, away from the street. These are quieter and get better ventilation.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid ground-floor rooms overlooking the street or the small lobby/entrance area, as they'll catch footfall noise and passing traffic.
Best views
Rooms at the rear avoid the main road and may offer partial town or hillside views. Front rooms face the street only.
Quietest floors
Floors 3 and 4 (the top two floors) tend to be quietest, especially rooms set back from the road.
🔊 Noise notes
Preveza's main streets have moderate traffic (cars, scooters) during the day, less at night. Ground floor can pick up lobby bustle.
Insider tips
If you drive, ask at check-in about free public parking nearby – Ianos doesn't have its own car park. Also, request a room away from the lift shaft for quieter sleep.
- Call the hotel directly 24–48 hours before arrival and ask for a specific room type
- Add a note in your booking comments field
- Ask at check-in — front desk staff can often accommodate if a room is available

Top-Attraktionen in Preveza
💡 Come around 07:30-09:00 for the best action. No need to buy — just watch the trade. If you want fresh fish for cheap, ask a local for the 'krevati' (the morning auction area).
💡 Bring swim shoes — the pebbles get hot by noon. The best spot is near the small jetty at the south end, where the water stays deeper longer.
💡 Go at sunset when the light hits the stone and there are fewer people. The small chapel inside is usually locked but worth a peek through the gate.
💡 Best experienced on foot early morning (pedestrian access is allowed from the Preveza side). Walk a third of the way in for the strange acoustics and the view of the tunnel lights vanishing. No charge, but watch for traffic on the pedestrian path.
💡 Combine this with a trip to the Nikopolis archaeological site (free on Sundays). Entry is €4, but students from EU countries get in free. Allow 45 minutes.
