About Sivota
Sivota sits on a bay on Lefkada, about 31 km by road from Lefkada Town. Homes are spread over a few kilometres rather than clustered in one place. Vasiliki, a town on the south coast, is famous for windsurfing, with winds that typically reach force 5 to 7 in the late afternoon. Mikros Gialos, a pebble beach sheltered from the wind by a bay, rents out two-person kayaks by the hour. Island roads can be narrow and exposed, and lighting at night is scarce, so allow time after dark. Charter flights from many European countries reach the airport near Preveza from April through October.
