8Kythira — Where the Ionian meets the Aegean
Perched between the Peloponnese and Crete, Kythira blends Ionian charm with Cycladic simplicity. Besides its gorgeous beaches, the island has Kapsali and Kaladi, perfect for swimming and snorkeling.
The waterfalls at Mylopotamos and Fonissa offer refreshing natural escapes. Kythira is ideal for history buffs as well: visit Chora Castle, Byzantine churches, and Venetian towers dotting the landscape. Local cuisine shines with dishes like ladotyri cheese and fresh octopus cooked over olive wood.
