Sivota
Sivota or Mourtos is a marvellous. coastal tourist centre full of olives. On Ottoman domination the village was named Mourto and in 1959 received the name Sivota from the naval battle of Sivoton that had become the 433 b.c. during the Peloponnesian War, as described by Thucydides (460 - 400 b.c.). According to Thucydides, the region -which was consisted of five islands and the opposite shores was uninhabited.
Sivota lies only 24 km south of Igoumenitsa, and faces Corfu and Paxos. Anyone can arrive at Sivota from either Preveza or Igoumenitsa (flights to Aktion and Corfu and short ferry to Igoumenitsa) and you will pass through undeveloped landscape, small villages, deserted beaches and mountains.
There are a number of excellent and great value tavernas on the harbour front as well as grills (Kebub, Guros) and other restaurants further back along the 'main road'. If you are self-catering there are two good bakeries, a greengrocer and a few supermarkets to obtain quality, fresh food. Sivota is not a large resort although it does have a few shops for holiday items and gifts.
There is a number of sea beaches in Sivota, such as Mega Ammos, Small Ammos, Zavia, Gallikos Molos, Bellavraka, Zeris and others also.
Using Sivota as a holiday base, you can visit many interesting touristic and archaeological places. You can visit by boat Paxos, Corfu and Parga, and by small bus to Necromanteion, Kassope, Nikopolis, Nekromandio, Ζalogo, and Glyki. Since, there is a limited bus service and the village has only a couple of taxis, if you want to see the area to rent a car, it would be a good idea. Some wonderful areas then become accessible, including the town of Ioannina; Dodoni, the mountain villages of Zagorochoria; Vikos Gorge even the monasteries of Meteora.
