General: Yet another great holiday

Tue, 31 Jan 2012 07:54:44 GMT

My wife and my daughter have just returned from Kithira and another perfect holiday and even free wi fi. This place just gets better.

Beaches: Family holiday

Tue, 31 Jan 2012 07:54:44 GMT

A place for people who want an amazing relaxing holiday in a paradise setting. We love it there, have been going there since 1983 and have seen many changes, all good. Give it a try.

Beaches: Lay back and unwind

Tue, 31 Jan 2012 07:54:44 GMT

We spent ten days in the Camping of Kapsali last month and it truly came up to our idea about Relaxing Vacations!! The beach was so great that I felt sorry I hadn't discovered this cozy little island earlier. It has soft sand, very clean water and along the beach there were nice taverns and cafeterias. Their lights created a romantic atmosphere at night. Another good thing is that the beach was...

General: Windy but magical

Tue, 31 Jan 2012 07:54:44 GMT

Kythira is a magical island and we spent a great time there. Some beaches were a little bit too windy but always beautiful. The hotel was comfortable with a nice view and excellent owners who made our stay in Kythira wonderful. The restaurants were not too much expensive and we always had a nice dinner. We bought a lot ...

General: My most romantic memories

Tue, 31 Jan 2012 07:54:44 GMT

It's been about 10 years since I last went to Kythira and all these years I wanted to come back. Postponing things is a bad habit, my friends! Going back once more last summer was one of my dreams for all these years. I had missed Kythira so badly that this was almost a last-minute trip. Few things have changed over the last years, for the better fortunately. Some roads are not track anymore, n...

General: Memories from childhood

Tue, 31 Jan 2012 07:54:44 GMT

Kythira is one of my favorite islands although it is not so popular as others (thank God, you can even experience true vacation and relax there!). Kythira is strongly connected to my childhood since I have spent most of my summers in the village of Avlemonas. All night long beach parties in the farm region, the local Su...

General: One of the most beautiful Greek Islands

Tue, 31 Jan 2012 07:54:44 GMT

For me, Kythira is one of the most beautiful greek islands and I was quite sad to read many of the negative reviews it has received. If you intend to explore the island then, yes, hire a car or a moped - Greece doesn't claim to have the most reliable public transport - everyone knows that. If you want nightclubs, then go to Mykonos or stay in Athens. Kythira offers gorgeous and varied beaches -...

General: Nothing to do and see

Tue, 31 Jan 2012 07:54:44 GMT

I read all good reviews about Kythira and I wonder, was I the only one that I didn't like the place? Yes, Kythira has many green spots and other impressive rocky landscape, but apart from that it had nothing: no buses, no good roads, no sandy beaches, no sights, no activities, no nightlife. No to mention how difficult it is to go from Athens. It doesn't even have a direct line from Piraeus and ...

General: Be prepared for a primitive island

Tue, 31 Jan 2012 07:54:44 GMT

The island itself had very beautiful nature and villages, but all the rest caused us some discomfort. First of all, it took us almost two days to go from London to Kythira. Unfortunately, there is no direct ferry from Athens to Kythira, so you have to take the bus to Neapoli Laconia (about 6 hours from Athens) and then take the ferry from Neapoli to Kythira (2 more hours). If only I knew th...

Beaches: In the middle of nowhere

Tue, 31 Jan 2012 07:54:44 GMT

It was very difficult to find Chalkos on Kythira. We had to see the map, follow some signs that were not very sufficient, ask a local shepherd who couldn't speak very well because he had only a few teeth left(!!), but in the end we found it... Calm and wonderful, just before the sun sets, giving the sea beautiful orange and pink colours... Chalkos is truly a nice beach, practically in the middl...

General: Good beaches and poor nightlife

Tue, 31 Jan 2012 07:54:44 GMT

There is a variety of beautiful beaches and countryside on Kythira. For me, the best beaches were Kapsali and Paleopolis. There are not many sights to see on Kythira, except for the cave of Agia Sofia in the centre of the island, but the road to go there is quite dangerous.The island is clean in general. The locals take good care of it. Nightlife is very poor. Do not expect anything else than a...

General: Excellent for relaxing holidays

Tue, 31 Jan 2012 07:54:44 GMT

The villages and the beaches (mostly Chalkos beach) in Kythira are so beautiful. Nightlife is calm. It doesn't have many places to go, but wherever you are the view and the people make your holiday a dream. Excellent island for some relaxing holidays.

General: A small guide of the beaches of Kythira

Tue, 31 Jan 2012 07:54:44 GMT

Among Kapsali and Agia Pelagia, the more spectacular lines of coast are found. Departing from Kapsali, doubled the C. Groso, where the coast pierced of caves goes down to lead in the sea, the beach of HALCOS is found that can be reached by the village of KALAMOS through an excavated road. Not to lose the beach of KAKOPLAKA, a heaven of pink sand that serves as background to the sharp rocks of t...

General: Live the sea all over the island

Tue, 31 Jan 2012 07:54:44 GMT

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 K...

Beaches: Melidoni beach

Tue, 31 Jan 2012 07:54:44 GMT

Melidoni beach is situated in the west coast of the island, it is a special place with gold sand, clear water and a good kantina. The road for the beach is not asphalted and in some places not in perfect conditions, but at the end you'll find a spot of Paradise.
