A picturesque Greek island located at the southern tip of the Peloponnese, renowned for its lush landscapes and tranquil beaches.
Tips from the community
Legends say that Kythira was the birthplace of Aphrodite – Greek goddess of love. It’s not difficult to believe. From the moment you lay eyes on Diakofti port, straddling a rocky headland with dashes of Caribbean-style sand on either side, this isle on the edge of the Peloponnese begins to work its magic. From there, you’ll need to choose your adventure. Will it be the rugged inland with its deep gorges and emerald waterfalls? Or will it be the coast, where over 30 rated beaches await? If you go for the latter, be sure to hit Kapsali, where yachts bob in a cobalt bay, and Kaladi, an Instagram just waiting to happen. Oh, and don’t forget the capital of Chora, which is topped with a dramatic Venetian citadel that once fended off pirate raiders.
