SIVOTA BEACHES

Sivota Villa Holidays

BELLA VRAKA BEACH

Bella Vraka beach is located a 20-minute walk up the hill by the harbour. You cannot visit Sivota without setting foot on this, for Sivota trademark beach. A short walk over shallow water will take you to the island of Mourtemeno, or “Goat Island” as the locals call it. Do not get surprised if you must share the beach with the island’s many goats that more than happily visit the sunbathing guests. The coarse-grained sand is white and the water calm and crystal clear. The beach is used by The Retreat hotel guests and is partly occupied by their sports equipment. The sunbeds belong to the hotel guests so bring your own beach towels as well as refreshments since there are no facilities on the beach. Beach shoes are recommended for the walk over.

KARVOUNO BEACH

A short walk up the hill by the harbour will take you to Karvouno bay. This pretty bay, surrounded by lush green trees and white sand invites you to swim in the crystal-clear water. The beach that belongs to Karvouno villa complex has got sunbeds and umbrellas for rent and a beach bar and restaurant.

PISINA BEACH

Pisina means pool in Greek and why the beach got its name is not hard to understand when you see the colour of the water. “The Blue Lagoon” as it is also called can only be reached by boat and is only a few minutes’ drive from Sivota harbour. This popular beach is well worth a visit even though it is well visited by boat trips from Corfu and Sivota and a fantastic place for snorkelling and swimming.

 

GALLIKOS MOLOS BEACH

Follow the “Path of Love” that is located on the right side of the harbour and will lead you to Gallikos Molos Beach, or the “Town Beach” as the locals call it. Enjoy a day swimming in the crystal-clear waters overlooking Paxoi and Corfu in the distance. This is the perfect spot for a late-night picnic on the beach watching the sunset.

ZERI BEACH

Zeri beach overlooking the harbour and Sivota´s green islands are a small bay with a narrow beach. It is a perfect place to anchor up and enjoy a lunch in the Taverna or spend the day reading a book under the umbrella and cooling yourself down swimming in the crystal-clear water.

DEI BEACH

Hidden behind the trees you find this stunning bay with crystal clear water and a relaxed atmosphere. The rocks surrounding DEI beach invite you to explore underwater life. Enjoy your lunch under the shade of the many trees.

ZAVIA BEACH

Zavia beach is located on the right side on the way out from town centre towards Mega Ammos beach. Zavia is a small, pebbled beach with stunning water and a relaxed atmosphere with natural shades from the many trees. The laid-back little tavern offers simple snacks and drinks.

MEGA AMMOS BEACH

Mega Ammos means Big Ammos. Even though it is Sivotas biggest beach you should not get scared off by its name. Mega Ammos offer you crystal clear water and a relaxed feeling even during the high season. You can rent sun beds, umbrellas, and kayaks as well as enjoy water sports during the peak season.

Two of Sivota most recommended restaurants are located on Mega Ammos, Olivia Sea and Shellfish restaurant and Ionion Fish restaurant. If the harbour is Sivota´s heart in town, Mega Ammos is the heart of the beaches and the natural place to meet up during the day for a swim and relaxation and evenings for wine and dine.

MIKRI AMMOS

Mikri Ammos means Little Ammos and is a little bay with crystal clear waters and amazing snorkelling. Mikri Ammos beach club and restaurant offer you a relaxed chilled vibe as well as nice food and sun lounges throughout the week. Sundays are party days during the high season and the normally chilled out beach bar turns into a party heaven with a DJ playing the latest tunes and the sound of popping corks until early morning.

MEGA DRAFI

Mega Drafi is a little bay with a relaxed atmosphere and crystal-clear water. It consists of two beaches where you can reach the neighbouring beach with just a short swim away. Amazing snorkelling and the perfect place to hang out a day if you want to just relax and read a book and sunbathe. The little tavern serves snacks and drinks as well as renting out sunbeds and umbrellas.

 

AGIA PARASKEVI

Agia Paraskevi means St. Friday and is named after the little chapel located up on the hill. This stunning sandy beach with a view overlooking an island is one of Sivota´s gems and a must to visit during your stay in Sivota. Swim over to the island in just a few minutes and enjoy the tiny white sandy beach and catch your breath before swimming back to the main beach again. Enjoy your lunch at one of the restaurants located at the beach front.

ARILLA BEACH

Arilla beach in Perdika is in a bay protected from the wind. This beach with shallow, calm water is perfect for the families.

Arilla beach is the only beach with fine sand in the Sivota area. This rather unusual dark grey sand invites nice strolls on the beach and playing in the sand. The beach is divided up in two and has one natural side as well as one with sunbeds and umbrellas.

Psarokókkalo Arílla Fishbone restaurant is the perfect place to enjoy today’s catch from the sea.

KARAVOSTASI BEACH

Only a short drive from Sivota you find Karavostasi beach in Perdika. This both long and deep beach with white coarse sand and blue waters stretches as far as the eye can reach. The blue, clear water invites you to play in the waves on windy days or nice long swims on calm days.

If you get bored of sunbathing, you can try out the water sports located on the right side of the beach or just take a long stroll along the beach. The size of the beach makes you feel like you are on a deserted beach even during the peak season. Enjoy a drink or lunch in one of the many bars and restaurants located along the seafront.
