Map & location
Sivota – Parga, Greece
Costa Smeralda rests on the seafront just outside Sivota, one of the prettiest spots on Greece’s mainland Ionian coast. From the hotel you’re cocooned by pine and olive-clad hillsides, with views stretching over emerald water to tiny off-shore islets.
Follow the coastal road and you reach Sivota Marina, where fishing boats and day cruisers bob in the harbour alongside waterfront cafés. The resort centre is close enough for an evening meander to traditional tavernas, yet far enough that the hotel itself stays delightfully peaceful.
- Approx. transfer time from airport (Preveza – PVK) 1 hour 40 minutes.
Facilities
Pool & outdoors
Days here centre on the outdoor freshwater pool, edged by a sun terrace with loungers and parasols and backed by soft-green hills. It’s compact and calm – ideal for a cooling dip between chapters of your holiday read. Pool towels are provided free of charge, saving space in your suitcase.
From the hotel’s seafront location, you’re a short stroll (around 350m) from the nearest beach. This stretch of the Ionian is known for clear, gently shelving water and pretty coves, many of which can also be explored by boat from the marina.
Spa, sports & wellness
Costa Smeralda is all about slowing the pace. There’s no full-scale spa or gym on site, but you’ll find:
• Outdoor freshwater pool with sun terrace
• Free pool towels
• 16-hour reception (daily)
• Equipment hire including kettles and mobility scooters (surcharge applies)
Local operators in Sivota can arrange boat trips, kayaking or car hire if you want to explore the wider Parga region, from hidden beaches to pretty coastal villages.
Activities
Costa Smeralda keeps things blissfully low-key on site – think lazy pool days and sunset drinks. For a little more action, Sivota and the surrounding Parga region offer:
• Boat trips to nearby islands and hidden coves
• Snorkelling and swimming in crystal-clear bays
• Coastal walks through pine and olive groves
• Day trips by road to Parga town or Plataria harbour
Excursions and activities are typically organised locally and paid for separately.
Guest services
• Reception open 16 hours per day (daily)
• Free Wi‑Fi throughout the hotel
• Pool towels provided free of charge
• Equipment hire including kettle and motorised scooter (local charge)
• Luggage storage (subject to availability)
• Assistance with local taxi or excursion arrangements via reception
Services and opening times can vary by season and occupancy.
Food & drink
Mornings at Costa Smeralda revolve around the light-filled breakfast room, where a buffet spread typically includes fresh bread and pastries, cheeses and cold cuts, fruit, yoghurt and hot options – a simple but satisfying start before days of beach-hopping or boat trips.
The pool bar keeps things relaxed throughout the day with coffees, soft drinks and alcoholic beverages, plus snacks and light bites when you don’t feel like moving far from your lounger. As evening falls, stroll into Sivota to sample harbourside seafood tavernas and local ouzeri bars.
Smart casual dress may be requested indoors, and beachwear is usually not permitted in dining areas. Restaurant and bar offerings, opening hours and any supplements can vary by season and are subject to change.
