5Kythira – Ionian-Influenced Beauty

Located off the southern tip of the Peloponnese, Kythira is a crossroads of Greek, Venetian, and Ottoman influences. Its landscapes range from rugged cliffs to waterfalls, small beaches, and olive groves. In autumn, the island feels like a private retreat, with nearly empty roads and peaceful villages.

Visitors can explore charming towns like Chora, enjoy local tavernas serving fresh seafood, and hike through scenic trails with stunning viewpoints. Kythira is perfect for travelers looking for solitude combined with authentic Greek island culture.
