The safest port
The lighthouse
The port of Preveza was very busy in the 19th century. The Ambracian Gulf offered security, the port was right next to the town, it was protected by strong fortifications and the meticulous adherence to sanitary regulations protected its visitors from disease. A good road network connected Preveza to the important agricultural and industrial centers of Thessaly and Epirus. The local economy benefited from imports and exports. The people of Preveza could order clothing and appliances straight from Paris, while the seaside was packed with coffee-shops and pastry shops. The local movie theater attracted large crowds.
