Location information

SYVOTA (Settlement) LEFKADA
A picturesque coastal village hiding in a sheltered cove, like a fjord. Because the cove is extremely well protected from the elements, it is an ideal place for mooring yachts. All around are the verdant hills. A short distance from Syvota is Hirospilia, where Doerpfeld uncovered some neolithic finds. On the way from from Poros to Syvota one can visit the villages of Fterno, Vournikas, Sivros and Agios Ilias. From Agios Ilias one can follow a footpath to get to the summit of Mount Stavrota.
