:: The village of Paleochora

The village of Paleochora is the island’s pure marvel. It is the ruins of the Medieval capital of Kythira Greece dating from the Byzantine times and was called Agios Dimitrios. The village is situated on the north-eastern side of the island, northwest of a deep cliff. The village is characterised by its beautiful architecture which reminds the beautiful Monemvasia and Mystra.

Paleochora is a fortified village of Kythira situated in a lower level than the surrounding hills and can not be seen from the sea, in order to protect itself from the many pirates’ raids. Despite that protection, the famous pirate Barbarossa managed to find it and destroyed it in 1537, selling all the inhabitants as slaves. It was never rebuilt since then for the reason that it is considered as a place of bad fortune.
