Kythera is located between the southern tip of the Peloponnese and Crete where the waves of three seas wash upon the island’s coastline. A mere 40 minutes by plane from Athens, about 6 hours by road and ferry via the Peloponnese (Yithion or Neapoli) and 8 hours direct by sea from the port of Piraeus.

HIDDEN TREASURES


We will not divulge all the secrets of this mystic isle at this juncture - that is for you to explore and discover should you so wish. Suffice to say that if you are a nature lover nature is all around you. If you are a walker there are wonderful trails to follow; if you are a lover of the sea there are beautiful beaches for swimming, snorkelling, fishing and boating. Should you be an avid historian there are monuments to see, castles to explore, archaeological sites to visit; if you are keen in pursuing local religious traditions you will be amazed with the number of ancient churches that exist on the island and the religious festivals that are devoutly held. Gourmets too will not be dissatisfied with the cooking skills and traditional foods of Kythera’s local gastronomy.
Meet the people, live the culture, love the island……
