5Kythira – Where Mythology Meets the Sea

Between the Peloponnese and Crete lies Kythira, a mythical island said to be the birthplace of Aphrodite. Despite its romantic reputation, it remains refreshingly undiscovered. 

Here, rugged cliffs meet lush valleys dotted with waterfalls and Venetian castles. The charming village of Mylopotamos hides the Neraida Waterfall, while the beaches — like Kaladi, Melidoni, and Fyri Ammos — range from dramatic to serene. Kythira blends myth, history, and natural beauty into a timeless experience.
