 Welcome to the ancient city of Preveza, which was founded in the third century BCE. This town, which is strategically located on a bay, has been ground zero of many wars throughout history, including Augustus Caesar, the Roman emperors, defeat of Mark Antony and Cleopatra. And the battle for sovereignty continued throughout history, even including Napoleon himself. Here's more in this next report. The sights and charm of the port city of Preveza comes right out of a storybook, or actually even a fairytale. Preveza offers all the advantages of an island without any of the drawbacks. We have a magnificent coastline with the longest sandy beach in Europe. Imagine that 300 out of 400 species of birds in Europe live right here in the abrasion gulf. With a thriving nightlife and an extremely tight-knit family community, Preveza is all about staying in high spirits. Our history starts from 1949, immediately after the Second World War. Of course, Uzo created here almost one century before this time. So our facility, our device of creating Uzo is considered as one of the oldest in Greece. Deputy Mayor Leonidas Arguiros gave myself and a group of Israeli journalists a trip down memory lane of Preveza. Here in 31 BC, it took place the naval battle of Actium, which changed the root of history. When there was Antonin Cleopatra, the great love from the one side, and Octavian, the nephew of Julius Caesar on the other side. The battle took place right here. They had nowhere else to go because it was the only safe place for their ships to be. Really, they were trapped by Agrippa, the great genius, because he took the northern part of Preveza and he made them stay in the southern part where there were swamps and there were cases of malaria. And afterwards, the two lovers committed suicide together. Antonin Cleopatra lost and so here Preveza marks the end of the Respubblica of the Roman Republic, the beginning of the Roman Imperium. And it also marks the end of the Hellenistic period. But the historic significance of Preveza continued throughout history because of its strategic location for trade and also for protection. This Venetian tower in the city center marks the time that Preveza was part of the Venetian Republic. Napoleon made the mistake of living here as a small guard. That guard had as an opponent on the other side, Agrippa. In the 18th century, Napoleon conquered Preveza and dissolved the Venetian Republic. But when he started focusing on the Ottoman Empire, he lost his way and his foothold. The French guard that was left here in Preveza was slaughtered by the Turks. There is the tale of the little drummer who kept on playing his drums until he was cut down by a Turk. And it is so famous that they have put this image in pastry and in chocolate boxes. The Jewish history of Preveza also runs deep, with centuries of Jews and Greeks working, living and socializing together, until the Nazis came to Greece and sent tens of thousands of Greek Jews to Auschwitz. Older citizens of Preveza still remember with great sadness the day of the 24th of March when the German troops gathered nearly everybody of the Jewish community and they put them to Auschwitz. And now, because we feel that it should be done and it was long overdue, we are erecting a monument for the Holocaust of the Jewish community in Preveza. But in the coming months, we are going to have it here as our duty to the Jewish community of Preveza.
