Go Exploring

On non-inclusive evenings take a ten minute walk to the small port of Sivota, where you will find a relaxed, laid back atmosphere and a selection of tavernas, cafés and shops along the waterfront promenade.

Further afield, boat trips are available to Corfu, Paxos and Antipaxos. Paxos is an exquisite miniature world, with quaint 19th century houses lining narrow, cobbled lanes. The smaller island of Antipaxos is equally special with beautiful remote beaches and little coves.

An hour south of Sivota is Parga, bursting with history the impressive 14th century castle reflects the town’s varied history between the Venetians and Ottomans.

Out and About

• Boat Trips - A number of trips are available from resort during high season to visit some of the stunning local areas. Parga By Night is a fantastic cruise to see this beautiful historic town on one of the non-inclusive nights and to enjoy the local Greek cuisine. A day trip by boat leaves from Sivota village and visits Anti Paxos for a swim, then cruising onto Paxos island for a lunch stop and sightseeing or shopping opportunities.

• Car Hire - There are numerous sites of historical and archaeological interest with almost every village in the area boasting one diversion or another. Also well worth a visit are the natural fresh water springs of Acheron where you
can be guided up the gorge experiencing the cool fresh spring water rushing down below you no matter the temperature outside of the leafy shadows.

• Day Sails, Sunset and Champagne Cruises - Take a day sail on one of our yachts. Drink in the magical coastline, while relaxing in the warm breeze on deck. Let us sail you to secluded bays where you can swim or snorkel in the crystal clear water. Alternatively, sail into the sunset, sipping champagne as the sun sinks below the horizon; enjoy the romance of the evening on a sunset cruise. This is definitely the climax to a wonderful day.

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.
