A quick tour in Kythira island, Greece

Kythira island (also found as Kythera or Kithira) is a part of the Ionian islands cluster, although located south of the Peloponnese district and quite far from the other Ionian islands. This beautiful, calm and still undiscovered by mass tourism island is among the most picturesque holiday retreats in Greece.

Its rich natural beauty and its lovely beaches gather nature lovers and families mostly. The most well known villages and resorts in Kythira are Milopotamos, Agia Pelagia, Avlemonas, Kaladi, Platia Ammos and, of course, Kythira, the homonymous capital.

The capital of Kythira is located at the souther part of the island. There are not many hotels in Kythira (accommodation units in general), which is why travelers to the island are advised to book early enough.

The island produces excellent quality and very aromatic thyme honey (thymes thrive on the island) and attracts hare and rabbit hunters, during the months of September and October mostly.
