Agios Nikolaos Syvota

It is the second largest island of Sivota out of the eight islands in the region. It is full of very dense and varied vegetation. Only wild animals that find refuge there, can wade across it. This peculiarity led an ancient ruler of the metropolitan area that has not yet been identified historically, to build a small hidden fortress where he withdrew to avoid several dangerous attacks especially from sea.

Today there are visible remains of this fortress mostly covered with wild vegetation . Its size does not exceed 50 m² . This fort should probably have been built in the era of Byzantine times.
