The Property — Prokemea
Prokemea is a straightforward three-star hotel two blocks back from Preveza’s waterfront, all beige stucco and white shutters. The lobby smells faintly of lemon polish and fresh brewed coffee, with a small reception desk and a couple of armchairs by the window. It suits self-drive travellers or ferry passengers who want clean, no-fuss rooms close to the harbour restaurants and the Aktio ferry point. There’s a small pool in the courtyard, but the real draw is the location: a five-minute walk to the Venetian clock tower and the old town market.
Cronache di Preveza
Preveza sits at the mouth of the Ambracian Gulf, a spot contested by Venetians, Ottomans and Greeks for centuries. The city was refounded in the 15th century by the Venetians, who built the castle and the radial street pattern still visible near the waterfront. Ottoman rule from 1499 left the clock tower and several mosques, though most were converted or demolished after Greece’s 1912 annexation. Modern Preveza is a quiet provincial port, its economy balanced between fishing, tourism and the nearby Aktion airport. Culturally, it’s a gateway to the ancient site of Nikopolis, founded by Octavian after the Battle of Actium.
Best Time to Visit
Guida completa di Preveza →Best months
May, June and September: consistently sunny, temperatures 25-30°C, sea warm by June, and the waterfront tavernas are lively but not overwhelmed.
Peak / festival surge
July and August are the busiest months, with ferry queues for Lefkada and beaches like Monolithi packed. Hotel rates double or triple. The main event is the Preveza Wine Festival in early August (sample local whites from Ioannina), but the real pressure is just peak holiday traffic.
Budget shoulder season
Late September and early October: sea still warm enough to swim, daytime temps around 28°C, flights from the UK cheap, and room rates drop 40-50%.
Weather & packing
July in Preveza is dry with a persistent afternoon northwesterly wind, the meltemi, which whips across the gulf. Pack a lightweight linen jacket or pashmina for evening harbour breezes.

Principali attrazioni a 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.
