Parga v Kalkan (in August)?

Have been to Kalkan, really enjoyed it, looking for something similar this year and have stumbled across Parga. Have done lots of Greek islands previously and loved them, but other than arriving in Athens and leaving quite quickly, have never done mainland Greece. Cautious of how busy it will be in August - once had a nightmare in Lindos due to how packed it was in school summer holidays - obviously want to avoid that at all costs.

Looking for a very relaxed vibe - enjoyed the beach clubs in Kalkan and rooftop restaurants.

If anyone has been to Parga, can you give any advice? If you've been to both, would be brilliant to hear your comparisons.

Thank you

I loved Parga but it will be very busy in August. It’s also expensive compared to a lot of Greece. It is a great place to visit and I would go back but probably in June

Having also been to Lindos in August I’d say Parga will be similarly busy

Thank you that's good to know
