Lorentzo & Fyri Ammos(north) beaches
EviP Says: Located close to the village of Agia Pelagia, on the north part of Kythira and just after the red sanded Fyri Ammos beach.
EviP Says: Avlemonas at the east side is probably the most beautiful village of Kythira.a small, rocky bay with a marvellous view, clean waters sooths the mind and eye.Visit for coffee or food or even stay there
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....
EviP Says: At Mylopotamos village, the mountain prevails. Following the path down to the "Fonissa's" Waterfall, the vegetation grows thicker.Fonissa means, in Greek, woman murderer.The waterfall in combination with the trees and bushes set the natural colours free, floating and...
KaterinaJordan Says: Taking the "Glass bottom" boat (really the bottom of the boat is from glass) from Kapsali you can visit the Chitra or Avgo rocky island twice a day (15:00 and 18:00 during summer season). There is no life in the island and no beaches.But there is a huge cave where you enter...
JLBG Says: We had left the mainland in a hurry with only sleeping bags and towels. In Aghia Pelagia, at the entrance into the village, we found a wide ditch with gravel more or less covered by wood chips. We unfolded our towels and spread the sleeping bags and here was our one night...
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...
EviP Says: Cafe-restaurant-tavern "Mihalis" (name of the owner) is at the main square of the mountain village Mitata since 1932.It serves delicious cooked meals, with meat or sausagesIt also has a unique view from the mountain to the dale
To Kamari: By the little river...
mardaska Says: Under the trees, just next to a little river is a beautiful coffee-bar. It is the right place if you dont want to spend your day at the beach. Crepes, wallnut-pie with ice cream.

Most of the clubs are in Kapsali area. Do not imagine many of them. There are 3 clubs and 5-6 restaurants.
In this village is the main night life of the island.

Address: Kapsali village
JLBG Says: Ferries sail to Agia Pelagia either from Monemvasia (larger ferries) or from Neapolis (shorter route).Another access is by the Githio- Kapsali ferries. These ferries sail further from Kapsali to Andikithira, a smaller island in the south.
mardaska Says: Kythira island can be reached by ferry from Neapoli, Gythio, Pireas and Crete. There are 3 ports on the island. Agia Pelagia, Diakofti and Kapsali.The shortest ferry trip is from Neapoli to Agia Pelagia. It lasts about 1 hour and the ticket price is about 5 euros.
Follow Your Art: local & modern
EviP Says: In the centre of Kapsali you will find the art-shop “Follow your Art”"A group of local and foreign artists who live permanently on the island, present an impressive exhibition, which consists of various design objects such as paintings, furniture, ceramics, jewelry, lamps,...
All around the island: SEMPREVIVA
KaterinaJordan Says: "SEMPREVIVA" means "Life for ever".The flower looks like dry one but it isn't. You can keep it in your vase or elsewhere without water and it will remain there, keeping this delightfull yellow colour, for ever.The only place that this flower can be found is in the rock...

It is very difficult to find accommodation on the island in August. Since the island hasnt got many options, it is wise to book a hotel or a room 1-2 months before your arrival.
It is also essential to book your return ticket in advance, especially if you are leaving from the port of Agia Pelagia.

KaterinaJordan Says: The beach you see is the same as in my "Kithira island" page but the photo is from another place.In the top of the hill that surrounds Kapsali there is a very small churg "Agioi Akindinoi" and you can see it from few places in Kapsali.It isn't so easy to guide you the way...

"We will never find Kythira", say the lyrics of a greek song. It's true, we never find the island, the island finds us! Kythira is far from mainly touristic, it is unconventional. The geography,...
Kythira wasn't the easiest island to get to but I would love to go back. This picture is of Kapsali harbour. Kapsali is a beach town just below Kythira Town and where I would recommend staying.
