The 7 Beautiful Ionian Greek Islands

Although geographically separated from the other Ionian islands, Kythira is traditionally considered part of the group. Known as the birthplace of Aphrodite in Greek mythology, this island exudes romance and mystique. 

Chora, the island’s capital, is a charming village with whitewashed houses, narrow alleys, and a Venetian castle offering stunning views. Kythira’s beaches, such as Kaladi and Fyri Ammos, are pristine and uncrowded. Don’t miss the cascading Fonissa Waterfalls or the medieval village of Paleochora, known as the “Mystras of the Sea.”
