The ferry lurches away from Corfu, the Ionian sea pushing the boat toward a mainland coastline of olive-green slopes and whitewashed houses. In Parga the town climbs like an amphitheatre from the bay; narrow stone alleys lead upward toward a crumbling Venetian castle that watches the harbor and the boats below.
