Kanali’s focus is firmly on the coast: the beach stretches for four kilometres as one continuous sandy beach, and you can swim in the Ionian Sea. Taverns serving fresh fish and a variety of local dishes, along with bars and cafés, add to the character of the place. Two questions can help you choose where to stay: Should the coast be your main focus, and would you also like to take the town’s food and nightlife into account?

Beach, getting there and accommodation

The beach surface alternates between fine gravel, sand and, in places, rocks. The continuous sandy beach and the changing surface are two aspects of the same coastline. If a particular type of ground matters to you, take this variation into account when planning your beach visit.

You can reach the beach by car or by local bus. If travelling by bus, it is advisable to check the latest route and timetable information in advance, as routes and services may change.

When considering a specific offer, check its location and whether the route to the beach suits you. This way, you can compare options according to your own priorities.

Food and nightlife in Kanali

Taverns in Kanali serve fresh fish and a variety of local dishes. Bars and cafés contribute to the town’s nightlife. These are different ways to complement a beach stay: taverns showcase local cuisine, while bars and cafés offer an evening focus.

Preveza: archaeology, history and cycling route

In the wider destination of Preveza, archaeology and urban history form a distinct area of interest. The archaeological site of Nikopolis has a main route and six secondary routes connecting nine monumental areas. The Archaeological Museum of Nikopolis presents the city’s history spanning more than a thousand years through different aspects of its residents’ private and public lives. The site and museum offer different perspectives: here, routes connect monumental areas; there, aspects of daily life reveal the city’s history.

In Preveza’s historic city centre stands the Venetian Clock Tower, dating from 1752. The Church of Agios Athanasios is one of Preveza’s oldest churches. It was built during Venetian rule in the early 18th century and is known for rare frescoes dating from 1780. The construction date and the frescoes point to different periods of the 18th century.

Cycling is also a regional attraction: Preveza’s second coastal cycling route is about ten kilometres long, has a low level of difficulty and connects the city beach, Kiani Akti, Pantokratoras, the fishing harbour, Alonaki and the settlement of Drosia. Check the latest road conditions before setting off. Local products associated with Preveza include prawns from the Amvrakikos Gulf and the famous bottarga from the gulf.
