When the river flows placidly, it is a sight to behold, and Neochori offers an idyllic location where you can rest in the cooling shade of plane trees, enjoy a cup of coffee, or indulge in a glass of tsipouro, the quintessential alcoholic beverage of Arta. The Parapotamio Parko Cafe is located right next to the bridge that leads from the right to the left bank of the river. There is a picturesque harbour where you can see the distinctive boats of the Ambracian gulf, as well as a playground where children can stretch their legs and relax from all the culture and history of this tour. In the summertime you may attend a concert of popular Greek singers. In the wintertime it is definitely worth your while to pay a visit to the park to participate in the Great Blessing of Waters on Theophany (6 January).
