History
Mar-Bella Collection opened Elix on 21 May 2021 above Karavostasi, on the Epirus coast between Parga and the islets of Sivota. The hotel was built with the sandy cliffs in mind: 146 rooms and suites in thirteen types, balconies toward the Ionian, and private pools or swim-ups on some of them, the pools measuring about twenty-five to thirty square metres. At the opening the lobby showed two Greek kaftans, traditional silk costume from the nineteenth century, a nod to the region's Ottoman years. A cable car and a stair path both reach the beach.
The setting
Karavostasi is a beach in Perdika, Thesprotia, on the mainland opposite Corfu. Parga lies up the coast, Sivota and its islets down it. The hotel sits in the pines on the hill, and the organized beach below has loungers plus kayaks and boards. Preveza is the usual airport.
