7Kythira – A Mythical Escape

Located between the Peloponnese and Crete, Kythira remains one of Greece’s best-kept secrets. Unlike many Cycladic islands, Kythira is lush with waterfalls, rolling hills, and abundant olive groves. The island is steeped in mythology, believed to be the birthplace of Aphrodite, the goddess of love.

Visitors can explore the picturesque Chora, with its Venetian castle and stunning sunset views, or venture to the island’s pristine beaches like Kaladi and Fyri Ammos. Kythira is also known for its charming villages, such as Avlemonas and Mylopotamos, where visitors can enjoy traditional Greek hospitality without the crowds.
