Located in a corner of rare natural beauty with tiny coves, green hills and deserted beaches, the aptly named Retreat offers an idyllic haven from hextic modern life.

Around a ten minute walk from the bustling harbour of Sivota, The Retreat clings to the side of a tree-covered coastal hillside. Its various buildings are linked by numerous steps and paths leading down to the shores of the Ionian Sea. A collection of beaches forms the edge of our watersports area and a shallow sand bar makes it possible to wade across to the tiny uninhabited island of Mourtemeno.

Throughout the hotel grounds great attention has been paid to landscaping with an abundance of flowers and trees adding to the natural beauty of the setting.

I went to Sivota for a week a couple of years ago. It was the first week of the season, in May. What a place! Incredibly scenic, with calm waters and a really secluded feel. Mountain biking is my thing, and Sivota has some great routes. I learnt to wakeboard - easy when the water is so flat. The only disappointment was the wind. I would have loved to work on my dodgy intermediate windsurfing skills, but the wind in Sivota is really light. And the village of Sivota is a short walk away - Good for an evening stroll.

Just writing to say a big thank you to all the Neilsen staff at The Retreat, Sivota last week (May 18th-25th). Our first Neilsen holiday and certainly not our last. Everything was fantastic. Special thanks for the sailing team and everyone at the Pool Bar.
