Syvota from a rural village that is was till recently, has become the last few years an important summer resort. The beautiful beaches Mega Ammos, Mikri Ammos, Bella Vraka etc., the fully organised harbour and the excellent tourist infrastructure attract many local and foreigh tourists.

Syvota offers many choices of entertainment to the visitors, such as diving, sailing, trips to Paxos, Parga and to the nearby villages. It is truly a gifted region by the nature that impresses every visitor.
