 EviP Says:  At the south-east part of Kythira Island, close to Avlemonas village lies Kaladi. This pebbled, rather isolated beach offers a spectacular scenery and is worth one visit or more, if there is enough time on the island... 

 EviP Says:  Chora is one of the most interesting parts of the island. its architecture is a combination of northern Crete and Classic Aegean.Climbed on the slopes of the hill, with its impressive Venetian castle, Chora seems to require the security this grand stone building provides....

 JLBG Says:  The road is steep between the chora and Kapsali (first photo) and it is good to have some rest along the way !However, it is far better when there is some shade (second photo), especially when at noon it is scarce ! 

 JLBG Says:  The first photo shows what seems to be the seat of the Blue Sea line.The second photo is a close up that says that departures to Cyprus and Haifa are at 5PM. I do not know if the tender suspended in front of the company’s seat is for real use or as an advertisement as the...
