Preveza Regional Unit, Administrative division in Epirus, Greece
Preveza Regional Unit is an administrative area in northwestern Greece along the Ionian Sea coast. The territory includes mountainous terrain, farming areas, and shorelines around the Ambracian Gulf with several towns and villages spread throughout.
After the Balkan Wars in 1913, this area became part of Greece and kept its administrative role until a major restructuring in 2011. That reform changed how local areas were organized and administered across the country.
The region maintains connections to local customs that come alive during regional celebrations with traditional music and dance performances. Many people here keep old recipes and cooking methods alive through daily preparation and family meals.
The area is connected to neighboring regions by an undersea tunnel, while several highways make it easy to move around internally. The best time to visit is from spring through autumn when weather is stable and roads are easily passable.
Within the area sits the Necromanteion, an ancient Greek sanctuary near the Acheron River where priests once performed ceremonial rituals. Visitors can still see the architectural remains today, showing how people in antiquity used spiritual sites.
