The aifnidiasmos with Kythera starts early. As if, pao Brunswick this year, starting in rotane: A litheia? Where? Corfu? Lefkada? Whether Britain Zakynthos??
When apantas that go on Kythira, the first blokareis (almost nobody has combined Kythera with the rather well-Brunswick) and the berdefeis: Kythera geographically belonging to New Brunswick, God knows why (normally should not belong anywhere. Make themselves a world), but administratively under the Piraeus. Ante vgale edge.
In Kythera protopiga before 8 years since I repeat this trip so many times about what the years that followed, every time I notice something, every time I send people αγαπάω there and every time these people tell me how good I would suggest that the trip. Understand that this is not a mere coincidence ...
We will not talk about historical figures and such boring, but for lovers of history and psaximatos, we shed the first ace to me: The famous pirate Barmparossa (Kokkinogenis for ellinomatheis) acted there. Barmparossa not random or personality, was contrary pirate with all: Algerian (Chiotikis origin but), swept the pelagi there in days of glory. We left nothing standing. Then even as the Turks zoristikan with him, echrisan antinafarcho the Ottoman fleet. We are talking about such tzora ...
Quite the story, there are plenty of books can be bought. I would say from now on other, more interesting. Where to go, what not to miss and what (minimum) to miss when you go to the island of dreams ...
Where swim?
Where we swim, Kythera is filled theikes beaches. I dreamed with the mini-description.
Foiri sand. Great beach, in a magic way never filled. In good times (beginning and end of summer) did not play chaise lounges, canteens and relevant, so you take measures. Because when you arrive, you will not want to leave. Before the evening. Multicoloured (yes, colourful) small pebbles make up the beach, crystal clear waters of the sea.
Kaladi. Two psiloi (very psiloi) side and rocks on the average film beach. And not to fill ... After filling is low and so sparsely populated. The good thing with those who go to Kaladi is that they know why they go. Not to disturb the next, not shout, do not zorizoun. So you feel that you're on your own. E yes, it is worth kateveis the 38 steps ...
Ovens. The worst moment was when it was getting two other couples there, the better when I was myself. Without my company. There is no infrastructure, chalali But because the sea and quiet in reward. And with the above.
Copper. Will the day come - even in Kythira-will theliseis to have a canteen behind you. A glass of water. A backgammon to play. A omelettes to fas. On that day will go Copper. The beach-sea equivalent to the above, but with kavatza to play from behind. However, being in bothers me.
Melidoni. Let's go, and certainly there. There is a canteen and sunbeds, beach, however small, and never annoying crowds, the sea dream, until recently noikiaze (type of canteen) and marine bicycles. For exploring the surrounding caves. To try it out.
Where will fao?
Will you have to be incredibly gkantemis to fas badly in Kythira, however, let us note:
-- Aqueduct: In Kapsali, ask their own red wine, salads day and from there onwards let them tell you propose.
-- Filio: In the village of Kalamos. Spitiko food rations giant, the first part in my life that katadechtika to pio rosé wine, rather than simply not metaniosa, I asked you further ... Nectar.
-- Platanos: Best mesimeraki-afternoon there. In the village of River (kefalochori of the island), on the square, beneath tree. Whatever will be eating pleasure.
-- Village of Mitata. I do not remember the name tavern but has no significance, is a square, and a tavern. Kokkoras krasatos the dishes ...
-- Avlemonas. I prefer to Avlemona to drink coffee or eat any pagotaki. Kolpiskos, very graphic, a good hour or afternoon. If your life bears evening there, then what do we all: To go to the tavern Sotiris and eat lobsters ...
Must
-- Village of Mylopotamos. We will go there, katsete the cafe - a tavern under the super tree, and you will agree that life is beautiful. A few meters above there is a cataract Fonissa. We will definitely go (and car if skylovarieste). Even if they do not swim (yes, many do) will enjoy a cigarette in the shade and cool next to the waterfall.
-- Country of Kythera: From the most beautiful countries, leave the tempelies and go up to the fortress. About the fagadika - bars there, all but proven. Search and shop selling kompologia. And buy one of giousoyri. The triveis and smell the sea (true!)
-- Diakofti: Some people seem crazy for the sea (green, very richi completely pool). If you like this, do not miss.
Where to stay?
Also many choices, I only places: Kapsali, Lawn, Mesa Lawn, Country. The Raikos good and proven choice, Tzivaeri also elsewhere I have left.
What would avoid?
Yes, even Kythera have a point ... regret to say? Different better? port. Agia Pelagia. You do not need to stay there after so many have proposed. You can ... proskynisete the sake of arriving and leaving the island.
Not in the interim ...
For those who have not yet understood, Kythera the ... we found. And it is simply fascinating. And those who both loved, although not in our interests we want to share with others. Enjoy your trip.
