PrevezaΠρέβεζα
POP 20,795
Occupying a peninsula between the Ionian Sea and the Ambracian (Amvrakikos) Gulf,
Preveza (
preh
-veh-zah) has a yacht-lined harbour and colourful back-street houses. Des-
pite its small student population and some holidaying Greeks, it's more business than
pleasure-oriented. However, locals believe that with expected Russian and Arab hotel in-
vestments on the nearby coast, Preveza is set to take off. Indeed, seeking to promote
tourism, authorities now allow yachts free mooring at the central waterfront.
