Fully unprofessional staff!!! We have gotten there 40 minutes earlier and wanted to buy a ticket for the next train. The guy told us we have to wait until the train arrives to the station to buy a ticket ( on paper this is the only place where you can buy a ticket). Nobody was there, there was no shadow and the temperature was at least 30 degree C, so we have decided to take a short walk. When we have gotten back (20 minutes before the trains planed departure) the train was almost full - only one place free.

You get a guided tour of the fortress before you are given time to enjoy the fortress and the view towards Parga. It’s a pleasant little excursion of a few hours and the train also stops on the way back in the village Anthoussa. Next to the village of Anthoussa there’s also a watermill museum with a small waterfall nearby. Even there you can take a ride on a separate tour with the tourist train.

Read morevery short tour, totally unsatisfying and disappointing from my point of view. everything is in a hurry for the castle tour! the short stop in the small village on the way back is totally worthless and pointless! would recommend visiting the castle, but if you can, would recommend to do it on your own, the train tour isn't really worth it. the village on the back seems to have great tavernas and cafes, but you're not able to get to spend the time in it and enjoy it, as the train is running to be back for the next worthless tour. do not...
