The three-day weekend of the Holy Spirit is approaching, and Tassos Doussis, a frequent traveler with «Eikones,» has selected and recommends favorite destinations within the country that will remain unforgettable. Among them are Kythera, about which he writes:
«Discover Kythira! A beautiful island overshadowed by many other Greek islands, but now it's time to put it on our travel agenda! Just 45 minutes from Athens by plane, you can find yourself in Tsirigo -as is the old Venetian name for Kythira- where prehistoric, Roman, medieval, and Byzantine times, as well as Venetian and British rule, left their mark everywhere on the island.
In Kythira, you will find castles, waterfalls surrounded by nature, watermills, a 25-meter lighthouse on the northernmost cape of the island, caves, gorges with beautiful trails and hidden churches carved into the rocks, sea caves. The second largest historical archive (after Corfu), the Elgin shipwreck, and the beautiful beaches without the crowds, as well as the delicious local delicacies, will enchant you. Everything is waiting for you to discover it!
