Where is it near?.........
“Oh where is it near?” is the question many people ask when you talk about Kythera. The answer is nowhere really.
Located off the south east part of the Peloponnese, its inaccessibility is what has prevented foreign tourism. It’s like a throwback to the days of charter airlines, everyone stood at the port with the name of their hotel and a few photos and you picked the one you liked.
We aren’t even sure if it knows itself who it is – the island looks more Cycladic in nature with whitewashed houses, blue domed churches and a traditional Chora, but traditionally it is listed as belonging to the Ionian islands. This is why we call it one of our Outstanding Oddballs.
Kythera still isn’t on a main ferry route (a few small journeys per week), but an increase in the number of flights from Athens has made it more accessible.
Kapsali has a pair of horseshoe shaped bays, one of which is sandy. These are backed by tavernas, cafes, shops and you can even hire a small boat to find your own little beach.
Agia Pelagia is known for its tavernas and Avlemonas has its own natural swimming pool. Come and find out about Kythera before everyone else does.
Please be aware that due to ferry and flight timings, a stay overnight in Athens may be required in either direction.

Happy People
The team have booked three very different holidays for me, two for a couple and one for a group of nine. They listened to our requirements and used their expert knowledge of Greece to provide us with several options from which to choose. I found them to be very professional, nothing is too much trouble and they strive to find a good deal. I would not hesitate to recommend them. The business has booked me a few different holidays ranging from 2 weeks away in the sun to City Breaks. They have a great knowledge and understanding of your needs and requirements when booking a holiday. They always try to accommodate your budget and work extremely hard to get you what you're asking for. They have an extremely good knowledge of the Greek Islands and never fail when recommending specific places. I would always recommend the team as they are helpful and professional at all times. |
Fantastic service. I explained what kind of holiday I was looking for and my budget and they came up with different options to choose from. Nothing was too much trouble and the communication was first class. I would definitely recommend and would not hesitate in using this 5 star service again.
