A Fly Past to Parga and Paxos!

A Fly Past to Parga and Paxos!

Another thing that Gouvia has to offer is several travel agencies offering a wide choice of excursions. On my first day here, I popped into Madalena Tours and spent about 20 minutes with a very helpful lady. I left with receipts for 3 excursions. Well, when in Rome!
