I discovered the island on a magazine and then I went deep in the information through this site. As an introduction, I have to say it is a quiet island. Not so many attractions really worth a visit (i.e. forget the waterfalls in Mylopotamos) but almost all the beaches are very nice (pebbles, stones, just few sand, so clear water). I didn't experience any of the possibilities for nightlife on Kythira (is there any?). The Castle has a nice landscape but not a lot more. Villages are little but nice, different that others, as you can see on the Cyclades for example. As for accommodation, we have been so lucky to rent an apartment at Filio, in Kalamos. In the same site they have maybe the best taverna of the entire island, once you try it you never feel the need to try any other place! There is just one thing to do on Kythira: relax and live the sea all over the island starting from the sunrise, or maybe just a bit later...
