Amenities from OpenStreetMap — they may have changed and the list is not exhaustive.
💧 Bathing water quality: excellent (official assessment by the Greek Ministry of Environment, 2025 — monitoring point “Valtos”, 335 m from the beach)
Valtos beach is located behind the castle of Parga. It is a large sandy beach, organized with water sports. Access is by boat or by walking over the castle.
Real shoreline from OpenStreetMap at a fixed scale so the diagrams are comparable with one another — the dot marks the beach.
The beach faces southwest. With northeasterly winds the air flows offshore and the water near the shore stays flat; with southwesterly winds the sea builds up waves onto the beach. The shape of the coastline offers partial shelter, cutting down part of the swell.
The shore faces southwest (215°), so from July to May the sun sets within its field of view, over the water. In the remaining seasons the sunset falls further to the side, over land.
An estimate based on the orientation of the shore — a headland or island opposite may hide the horizon.
In calm seas yes, but the water gets deep fairly quickly — normal supervision applies.
On days with northeasterly (offshore) winds or no wind at all. Check the live score on Beach Radar before you go — it updates all day.
Yes — sunbeds, umbrellas and food options operate during the summer season.
