Chartering in Syvota offers a tranquil Ionian experience with easy access to the open sea and stunning marble shores. The main departure point is Syvota Marina, a small yet well-equipped port in Thesprotia featuring 90 berths, fresh water, a restaurant, and port police services. From here, a day trip reaches the nearby islands of Lefkada and Corfu, as well as the sheltered anchorages along the Marmara coastline.
The setting is idyllic, with sunbathing and mountain biking popular among tourists near the harbor and coastal avenue. Ferries passing nearby can generate heavy swells, so anchoring securely and maintaining distance from the pier is advised.

Whether you choose a motor boat or sail boat, Syvota serves as a peaceful stopover for sailors seeking calm waters and scenic views. The port is located opposite Corfu, just 24 km south of Igoumenitsa, making it a strategic base for exploring the Ionian Sea.
