Syvota
The Parga & Sivota Islands Blue Lagoon Cruise is the best way to experience the
beautiful coast of mainland Greece.
A wonderful and relaxing way to explore the areas of Parga and Sivota.
First, our departure from the Port of Corfu gives a unique view of the Old Town,
it’s two overlooking Venetian fortresses, the Kanoni peninsula and the palace of
Mon Repos, where Prince Phillip was born. Heading south, parallel to the
mainland, we pass the capital city of the Thesprotia region, Igoumenitsa, the
small fishing village of Plataria and the Sivota Islands, where the ship enters the
breathtaking cave of Sivota. During the Second World War, the Greek submarine
“Papanikolis” was hidden here beneath the lighthouse.

Syvota
We sail around the historical small islands of Sivota, where the great naval battle
between the Corfiots and the Corinthians took place in the summer of 432 B.C.
Many of the vessels sunk in the fighting are still there at the bottom of the sea.
Soon afterwards, we arrive at the picturesque Blue Lagoon bay, where historians
say the Arabian pirates moored their ships in the Middle Ages. We drop anchor
close to the beach, and you will have the opportunity to swim in the lagoon’s
exotic blue waters.
