8Kythira – Between Myth and Serenity

Located between the Peloponnese and Crete, Kythira is the mythical birthplace of Aphrodite, the goddess of love. Yet despite its romantic heritage, it remains one of Greece’s best-kept secrets.

Kythira offers a fascinating mix of Ionian greenery and Aegean charm, with waterfalls, Venetian castles, and secluded beaches like Kaladi and Fyri Ammos. Its charming villages—such as Avlemonas and Chora—capture the essence of Greek island life, peaceful and unhurried.
Because it’s slightly harder to reach, Kythira has avoided mass tourism, but that’s precisely what makes it so special.
