6Kythira – The Island of Aphrodite

Located between the Peloponnese and Crete, Kythira feels worlds apart. Its remote position has kept it under the radar of mass tourism.

Off season, Kythira’s waterfalls, Byzantine churches, and unspoiled beaches offer a serene escape. Visit the abandoned village of Paleochora for a journey through history, or hike to secluded chapels tucked into cliffs. In spring, the island blooms with wildflowers, while autumn brings a golden glow to its landscapes.
