The region
Preveza
A scenic island city with traditional colors, as the sea embraces her from three
sides. The round side is overgrown and the trees reach the sea. The view to
the Ionian Sea and sunset is magnificent. On the quayside the view of the city
is in modern style, while in the center it maintains a narrow color with picturesque
narrow streets, old houses and ruined mosques. The current name of the city
is mentioned for the first time in the "Chronicle of Moreas". A long time
ago, in the place of Preveza, existed an ancient city named Vereniki - a very
important port in the era of King Pyrros, around the end of the 3rd century
BC. Preveza successively conquered by Visigotthous, the Goths, the Bulgarians,
the Venetians and Turks and was incorporated in the Greek state in 1912.
