Preveza


Rarely do sea views come this inexpensively, and with such nice surroundings. Rooms in this tower block are small but very clean and functional, with mini fridges and little balconies for watching the harbour below. (Windows seal well too, if summer party noise intrudes.) Service is friendly, and there’s free parking in a lot a couple of blocks south.
