Island Information

Kythira is one of the most isolated islands in Greece, making it the perfect choice for those wanting to restore some balance to their lives. The coastline of Kythira is over 50km in length, and is strewn with some of the world's most spectacular secluded beaches.

Kythira allows you to experience authentic Greece. It is a culture that still relies heavily on agriculture as a source of income, a fact which makes the locals proud. Its locally produced honey made with thyme is renowned throughout Greece, as are the rare Semperviva Flowers which grow wild on the steepest cliffs on the eastern end of the island.

Breathtaking landscapes are a prominent feature on Kythira, numerous gorges are home to a variety of wildlife and birds, and late in the season golden eagles can be seen circling the skies above the precarious cliff top monastery of Agia Moni. The diverse scenery on offer means Kythira is ideal both for walkers and nature lovers whilst the more artistic can spend days searching for the perfect subject amongst the deserted villages and impressive stone bridges, remnants of past empires. Although the attractions of the interior are many, the beaches are still a favourite for most. Whether secluded splendour or convenience and a sun-bed are priorities Kythira has something for everyone.
