1Kythira – Where the Aegean Meets the Ionian

Kythira sits at the crossroads of the Aegean and Ionian seas, a place steeped in myth and authenticity. It’s said to be the birthplace of Aphrodite, but its real magic lies in its unspoiled villages, Byzantine chapels, and untouched beaches.

The locals maintain age-old traditions with quiet pride. Visit during a village festival, and you’ll be invited to dance, eat, and celebrate alongside them. From the waterfalls of Mylopotamos to the tranquil harbor of Avlemonas, Kythira offers a glimpse into Greek island life that feels both ancient and eternal.
