Zavia is a small cove in Syvota, next to Bella Vraka. Its sandy beach stretches under pine trees that reach the water, offering natural shade. The orientation ensures sunshine most of the day, while the partial protection of the bay keeps it calm even in windy conditions.
Real shoreline from OpenStreetMap at a fixed scale so the diagrams are comparable with one another — the dot marks the beach.
The beach faces southwest. With northeasterly winds the air flows offshore and the water near the shore stays flat; with southwesterly winds the sea builds up waves onto the beach. The bay is naturally well sheltered — conditions often remain swimmable even on breezy days.
The shore faces southwest (240°), so all year round the sun sets within its field of view, over the water.
An estimate based on the orientation of the shore — a headland or island opposite may hide the horizon.
In calm seas yes, but the water gets deep fairly quickly — normal supervision applies.
On days with northeasterly (offshore) winds or no wind at all. Thanks to the sheltered bay it is one of the safer bets in the area on windy days.
No — it is an unspoiled beach with no facilities, so bring water and shade with you.
