With a population of just 19,042, Preveza is a small, provincial city in northwestern Greece that offers little to entice foreign residents. The town's economy has declined dramatically since the late 19th century, and its port has lost most of its former commercial significance. Bureaucracy is a persistent headache, with the city changing hands between Ottoman, Venetian, French, and Greek rule over the centuries. While the ancient ruins of Nicopolis and the natural beauty of the Ambracian Gulf are draws, Preveza is best suited for Greeks seeking a quiet, provincial lifestyle rather than adventurous expats.
