After an early start as there was quite a distance to travel we left the quay in Plateria and made our way South to Parga. For once the wind was in our favour and we managed to achieve a sailing time of 4 and half hours. This meant that we reached Parga quite late in the afternoon and the initial bay we were intending to anchor in was pretty full of charter boats and the dreaded water sport fiends. Instead we anchored under the Venetian citadel with a line ashore. Parga in July is not the ideal spot. Early in the morning it is very pleasant to wander through the streets but at night it is throbbing with people who are meandering in and out of the shops in the small streets or are wandering along the quay and the ferries are busy until late in the night taking people to and from the bay. We were happy to leave there and make our way down to Preveza.
