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.
