SIVOTA on LEVKAS

Sivota is a delightful port. Located at the southern part of Levkas Island, the port is a perfect spot to stay for more than a day.

Chicken, Greek salad and grilled sardines

We moored at Stavros' landing and were pleasantly surprised by the assistance given by the local taverna. Power and water is provided free by the restaurant in return we dine there at night. This simple solution is terrific, both parties gain.

The meals were very enjoyable and good value for money.

Stavros Taverna

 The bay is utterly beautiful. From the restaurant we could see the entire bay full of boats and local restaurants.The local tavernas are covered in pelargoniums, roses and so many brightly coloured bougainvillias.

 It appears that Sivota is the main base for the Sailing Holidays flotilla. There were about 50 of these when we arrived and we've made a point of NOT going where they plan to sail!
Most left the next day and the bars and restaurants were again quietly pleasant.

Our next stop is the Vathi, on the island of Ithaca, some 20 miles south.
