The small in size - 72.439.000 m2 -
Municipality of Syvota, with a population of 2.627
residents, occupies the plain and hilly regions around the
bays of Plataria and Syvota.
The two small with lush greenery islands at
the entrance of the bay of Mourtos - named after the
pirate who had made it his base of operations - are
considered, according to tradition, as the Syvota
islands which are mentioned by the historian of the
Peloponnisian war, Thucydides, in connection with
the naval battle of 433 B.C. between the Korinthians
and the Kerkyraioi, although more recent research
considers that they are in a more northern location. |
