About Sivota
Just a short distance from Lefkada’s main attractions lies Sivota, a picturesque seaside village that captures the essence of Ionian charm. Tucked into a sheltered bay surrounded by verdant hills, Sivota is known for its crystal‑clear waters, waterfront cafés, and welcoming atmosphere.
