Valtos Beach

Swept in from the pub

w:en:Valtos Beach (at the English Wikipedia) has a pretty serious case of touting, but before it gets cleaned up (mostly through extensive use the backspace key, I think), would anyone like to take a look and see if there's anything at all worth importing here?

That beach probably merits a listing in the Parga article, although Valtos Beach is already mentioned, and that Wikivoyage article could also use some detouting. Moreover, Krioneri and Lichnos Beaches would also presumably merit listings. That said, I think something can be gleaned from these passages:

Valtos Beach is a large crescent-shaped beach that is a 20-minute walk [to the] northwest of Parga, Greece. The beach is considered one of the longer ones due to its has a 3 km (1.9 mi) coastline which includes white sand with soft pebbles, spacious areas of greenery, and deep, blue waters. For those who want to explore the beach more, there are many facilities offered to the public, such as jet-skiing, banana boat rides, pedalo boat rides, and places to rent canoes to explore the Ionian Sea [remove link to the name of the sea, add listings for these facilities when we have the information] (65,251 square miles, 169,000 km²). There are also multiple cafes and taverns scattered around the beach that are open all day as well as small hotels and rooms along the coast that people can rent. [Again, add listings when we have the information, though a couple are already listed in "Sleep".]

it can be viewed from the peak of a castle hill [apparently Ali Pasha castle, which we have a listing for, but probably also the Venetian castle, which we also have a listing for]

[Place for] food and entertainment is Mango Club. The drink locations offered along the coastline also seem to draw in another great number of tourists, like the Sugar Bar. [Worth investigating, or purely self-interested touting? We can keep this on the back burner.]

The 'Panagina', a festival held on Panagla Island (about a 2-hour boat ride from the beach), has folk music performances, boat shows, and fireworks. This festival is held on August 14 every year and it lasts till the 15. [I'm not sure which article that information belongs in.] Ikan Kekek (talk) 07:57, 5 December 2019 (UTC)

I detouted the "Sleep" section of the Parga article. Ikan Kekek (talk) 08:01, 5 December 2019 (UTC)
