Sivros is one of the most beautiful villages of Southern Lefkada, built at the base of the mountain of Stavrota and the southern slopes of Elati.
The village is located just 7 kilometers from the well-known seaside village of Vasiliki and has about 450 permanent residents.
The name of Sivros and the settlement is mentioned for many years as it exists in 15th and 16th-century historical documents and means in modern Greek “pigs food”. Surely this is not accidental, because due to the large water quantity of its springs, the plain and the rich vegetation, the village always used to occupy its inhabitants with agriculture and livestock.
As for its natural landscape, we would say that Sivros presents another magnificent version of the mountainous Lefkada.
The springs of the village are many… Some of them run above and some others under the surface. The most popular is Dafni and Antelikos springs on the south of the settlement as well as Kerasia in the northern part of Sivros.
They all impress the visitor with their gurgling water, the huge plane trees and the dense vegetation.
The access to the springs is easy, suitable for children and the trails are ideal for daily hiking and the view of the village towards Vassiliki is excellent.
