The yachts and boats that arrive in Parga are able to anchor in the small cove east of the Venetian castle and the original harbour. The harbour itself has a long jetty which is constantly busy by taxi boats during the summer and anchoring anywhere in the approaches is forbidden.
The small cove just east of it is a popu- lar swimming beach from June to Sep- tember and yachts are not welcomed, but it can be used out of season. Depths are about 4.0 – 5.0m and the holding is good in sand.
However, most yachts choose to arrive in the bay of Valtos. The headland of St. Spiridonos on the west side of the bay needs to be given a clearance of at least 100 metres as there is a danger- ous reef extending off it. There is also a water sports platform in the centre of the bay which has not the appropriate lighting at night and therefore a night approach with a boat requires care. Depths are 4.0 – 5.0m here and the holding is good in sand and weed. It is a good shelter because it prevents north-west winds.
