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.
