1Kythira – The Island of Aphrodite’s Birth

Located between the Peloponnese and Crete, Kythira is often overlooked — and that’s what makes it magical. Myths say that Aphrodite, goddess of love, was born here, and the island still exudes romance. Waterfalls, Venetian castles, and secret coves give Kythira an air of discovery.  

Visit Avlemonas for crystal-clear swimming, explore Chora’s elegant architecture, or hike to the hidden Fonissa Waterfall. Kythira is a mosaic of myths, nature, and Mediterranean charm — the kind of place that captures your heart quietly and forever.
