Kythira: Potamos Kythira

Kythira Villages: Potamos village in Kythira Potamos Village Kythira: Potamos is the largest village of Kythira, 10 kilometres from Agia Pelagia and 19 kilometres from Hora. It is Kythira’s chief marketplace which attracts, every Sunday, every inhabitant of the island and has, as well, an important commercial centre in the north. It is also the seat of the second largest community. In Potamos, visitors can find a police station, the OTE building (telephone centre), a hospital, and a pharmacy, an Olympic Airways office, a post office and the National Bank of Greece. This unspoiled and quite village offers some really nice sites to visit as an extremely beautiful bridge from the English period, a Byzantine church dedicated to Saint Theodore, the church of the Panagia (Virgin Mary) of Ilariotissa and the churches of Agios Ioannis, Agia Anastasia and the Saviour (Sotiros), which are really interesting because of their beautiful icons and fine frescoes.

South of Potamos, the nice rocky beach of Agios Eleutherios, surrounded by huge cliffs, is an excellent place to enjoy a calm swim. The village has a large number of shops, hotels, rooms for rent, restaurants and fine taverns. ...........................................................................................................................................
