Kythira islandThe timeless and undiscovered birthplace of Goddess Aphrodite
Kythira is an island of captivating sceneries and full of history with charming castles, caves, medieval villages and beautiful beaches. Although it is close to the mainland, it is the most isolated and weirdest island in Greece, as it reminds the Cyclades, the Ionian Islands, the Peloponnese, and Crete Island!
Kythira island has seaside villages with whitewashed houses and mountain villages similar to those on the Ionian Sea. It has fantastic beaches to cater to all tastes, breathtaking natural beauty, rich history, and warm hospitality equal to the Peloponnese and Crete. Fortunately, the place is unknown to massive numbers of tourists, and as a result, it retains its quaint character.
Kythira is steeped in mythology and legend; according to ancient Greek mythology, it was here that the Goddess Aphrodite emerged from the sea foam.
Blessed with fairytale valleys and impressive waterfalls, Kythira stands out for its wild beauty contrasts: whether you want to dive into emerald pools and waterfalls or you want to enjoy the pristine turquoise waters of the seawaters, the island offers a feast for all senses.
Kythira is also a haven for outdoor enthusiasts. Hiking trails crisscross the island, leading to hidden waterfalls, ancient ruins, and breathtaking viewpoints.
