Where to Stay in Parga and Sivota

The Ionian coast of Epirus is green, wild and full of clear coves: colourful Parga below its Venetian castle, and the small fishing village of Sivota among its islets. Here is how to choose between them, and the partner hotels we book for our guests.

Parga or Sivota? Choosing your base

Parga town and Valtos – harbour, tavernas and nightlife, with the sandy Valtos beach a short walk or water-taxi ride away.
Lichnos and Kyperi – just south of Parga, quieter, with sea views and sheltered bays.
Sivota – a small village by turquoise coves and islets, ideal for boat days and calm swimming.
