The idyllic Island of Kythira

The next day, after all the touring and walking and exploring, it was the ideal day to take it easy: and that’s what we did, in the quiet island of Kythira, an out of beaten path location in the Mediterranean, with clear water beaches, just a handful of cafes and restaurants by the beach and a small town, also called Chora, accessible by bus or an easy 25 minute minute walk uphill. This was possibly my favorite island of all the ones we visited: I loved the relaxed atmosphere, the majority of locals around, the authenticity of the main town up in the hill, built right next to a Venetian castle (or what’s left of it) where I got to witness one of the most beautiful sunsets I had ever seen.
