SYVOTA

Slow living at it's best. Somehow life became even simpler once we reached Syvota. Unlike many small ports, Syvota had excellent moorings right up against he town quay. Not only did we NOT have to walk more than 2 mins to get supplies, visit the local ice creamery etc, but also the taverna delivered coffees to the boat 6 metres away.

 And, every day the diesel truck came by and personally delivered fuel!

The town appears to have dedicated itself to pleasing visitors, both those on boats and the many who seem to descend on the town after dusk. Roads are beautifully paved, there is no rubbish to be seen and everyone seems happy.

We loved being in Syvota and found excuses to stay the extra 3 days. Nighttime was amazing. Hundreds of tourists emerged from who knows where and strolled (doing the Volta) up and down the paved promenade. As usual, we petered out by about 10pm and this was just when the action seem to start. Tucked up in our boat we enjoyed sitting, watching the world go by until late in the evening.
