4Kythira
Located off the southern coast of the Peloponnese, Kythira is a lesser-known island that boasts rugged landscapes, pristine beaches, and a rich history. Visitors can explore medieval castles, wander through quaint villages, or swim in secluded coves accessible only by boat. One of the most iconic sights on Kythira is the Venetian-era castle of Chora, which offers panoramic views of the island’s dramatic coastline. For a taste of local culture, visitors can attend traditional festivals such as the Kapsali Carnival or sample regional specialties like honey and thyme-infused cheese.
