Parga is a seaside town of
Epirus. Its broader mountain crest was a natural barrier,
which protected it from invasions. The people of Parga
always retained their national identity, their general
cultural elements, whereas their main characteristic was
their passion for freedom and democracy
The people of
Parga were clear- sighted enough to choose the best allied
for protection: Venetians, (five centuries), French (Napoleon
Vonapart)»Russians and British, who sold it to the Turkish
in 1820. Then, the people of Parga ,since they could not
live as slaves, they proved once again their passion for
freedom. They unburied the bones of their anscestors and
immigrated to Corfu, Paxos, Psara and other island
participating in the War of Independence in 1821. Parga was
finally released in 1913.
