A walk from castle of Ali pasha in Parga
A walk from castle of Ali pasha in Parga
Take a bus to the near by village of Anthousa. Ask the bus driver to drop you off at "Ali pasha" (he'll understand that if nothing else). A short walk will take you to the top of the hill where, if you need to, you can buy ice-cream or other refreshements.
The castle or fortress is much in ruins but is a nice place to visit anyway and from the top you can see other villages near Parga, Corfu on a clear day, and the fortress of Parga which Ali pasha tried to shoot with his cannons. At least in 2005 an old lady sold delicious herbs and spices (such as mint, herbal tea, oregano and different spice blends) so have some small change with you. She's very charming and likes to talk with you but not a word of English.
From the fortress take a walk down to Parga through the orchards and forests of olive trees. The walk is a few kilometres long and walking downhill can be a strain to your knees. You should have bought a map from Parga so you don't get lost on the way back to Parga.
