KYTHIRA
The traveler to Kythira will find
an unexpected paradise, well guarded
at the point where the Aegean meets
the Ionian Sea. The wild beauty that
welcomes him/her when he/she
approaches from the east, opens the
path of mystery which leads to a
unique world of myths, legends,
history and tradition. The marriage
of East and West has always been the
advantage of the island, either
geopolitically, making it a
commercial station; or culturally,
with the development of a rare mixed
culture; or naturally and
environmentally, combining the
glittering sun of the Aegean Sea
with the euphoria of the Ionian
Islands.
Agia Pelagia - A few words about the village
The old harbor of Kythira. It is
located in the northern part of the
island, between Platia Ammos and
Diakofti.
The beach of Agia
Pelagia is great for swimming, beach
volleyball, water sports and
relaxation in the afternoon.
You
can taste the local delicacies at
the numerous shops along the coastal
road.
The Hot spots of Agia
Pelagia are: the cave of Agia Sofia,
the spring with the crystal clear
water on the road, the amazing
sunrises in the morning hours and
the view of Elafonisos and Cape
Maleas.

beach and to the left, as you look
at Agia Pelagia from the sea, there
are 3 excellent beaches to visit.
The first is named "Fyri Ammos",

one is the beach of "Lagada" located
near the end of the famous gorge of
