Kythira island - best beaches (Top 8 beaches by drone camera)
Greek island Kythira - best beaches - footage is created with drone camera.
Kythira Island is the alternative side of the Ionian Islands, Greece. Officially a member of the Ionian cluster, Kythira is located right below the Peloponnese and offers a remarkable natural beauty and sightseeing attractions, along with wondrous beaches…in brief some of the best places to visit in Greece.
1) Platia Ammos is the village and the beach on the northern part of the island. The combination of pebbles and sand beach and the picturesque village surrounding is the perfect place to relax. After swimming near by village’s ouzo taverns and restaurants offers food or drink.
2) Piatsa Beach is the part of longest beach on Kythira, Palaiopolis. This beach is on the southern side of island and on the clear day it is possible to see mountains of Crete
3) Limnionas Beach is located on the west side of island. Directly opposite the beach are the Panaghia islands, two small islets in front of Limnionas bay and just below the Monastery of Panaghia Mirtidiotissa, which they were named after! In Limnionas you can see the traditional houses used by fishermen for shelter.
4) Lagada Beach: Just next to the beach of Lorentzos, at the end of the Paleochora canyon ( you’ll find Kakia Lagada. During the winter months, a large lake is created just behind the beach by the water coming from the gorge. The beach has large pebbles, but this doesn’t seem to bother the tourists who prefer to swim in a tranquil environment such as this one.
5) Kombonada Beach (or Komponada beach Kythera): a beach with big white pebbles located on the east side of the island in between Palaiopolis and Fyri Ammos (Kalamos). The surrounding landscape is very beautiful. Accessible through an asphalt road from the direction Livadi/ Karvounades.
6) Fourni Beach: located on the northeast side of the island and accessible through a dirt road between Karavas and Platia Ammos. In the summer there is a cantina which serves drinks and nice food and sometimes there is live music in the evening.
7) Diakofti beach Kythira: Anyone who visits the beach Diakofti will be confused and wonder if they are in some exotic island! The water is shallow and turquoise and the color of the sand is white. Located on the northeast side of the island, in one of the most beautiful sites of Kythera next to the harbor, it is an ideal beach for young children because of its depth. In the taverns by the seaside you can taste fresh fish, seafood and traditional Greek cuisine. A few meters away from the harbor you can also see the shipwreck that took place a few years ago and has become one of the island’s modern exhibits.
8) Agios Nikolaos: The majestic bay of Agios Nikolaos is located 20 km north of Chora, the capital of Kythira and close to the popular village of Avlemonas and Moudari lighthouse. It is a small beach with white pebbles and crystalline waters. The beach is quite secluded and rocky with no tourist facilities. Here you have the chance to spend a peaceful and relaxing day with your friends and family. This natural environment is even suitable for the children. The bay offers breathtaking sunset views. The beach is accessed through a dirt road.

Old Byzantine Town of Paleohora on Kythira
The old Byzantine town which was built on a ridge between two gorges, facing inland, and thus invisible from the sea. However, it was discovered by Turkish pirate Barbarossa in 1537 and sacked, it's population slaughtered or sold into slavery. The town never recovered and was permanently abandoned. The walk here from Potamos through the hills and gorges is really worth it.
Παλαιόχωρα Κυθηρων απο ψηλά με drone
Ίσως το πιο σημαντικό ιστορικό μνημείο των Κυθηρων, είναι τα ερείπια της Παλαιόχωρας, που αποτελούσε την πρωτεύουσα του νησιού κατά τα Βυζαντινά χρόνια. Βρίσκεται στη βόρεια πλευρά του νησιού, σε μία φυσική οχυρή τοποθεσία, σε ένα βαθύ φαράγγι. Χτίστηκε το 12ο αιώνα από Μονεμβασίτες και η τότε ονομασία του ήταν Άγιος Δημήτριος. Η πολιτεία καταστράφηκε το 1537 από τον αρχιναύαρχο του τουρκικού στόλου Χαϊρεντίν Μπαρμπαρόσα, ο οποίος λεηλάτησε την πολιτεία και κατέσφαξε τους κατοίκους της. Η πτηση σε υψομετρο 80-120 μετρα εγινε με Phantom 3 ενα απόγευμα του Ιουλιου 2016.Ηθελα να πεταξω ψηλα για να φανει πόσο δυσβατο φαινεται το μερος αυτο.

Kythira: top things to do - must see attractions (drone camera)
Kythira/Kythera: top things to do - must see attractions and all are taken by drone camera. The beaches are not included in this list and if someone is interested to see beast beaches in Kythira check this video (Top 8 beach of Kythera)
1) The gorge of Kakia Langada starts at the village of Trifillianika and passes by the ruined Byzantine town of Paleochora. Paleochora, with its 13th century buildings, was the island’s Byzantine capital and is located in the northernmost part of a steep cliff set in the middle of the canyon. The gorge ends on the beach of Kakia Langada, where the famous pirate Hayreddin Barbarossa started his invasion, adjacent to Lorenzo beach in Agia Pelagia.
For adventurous nature lovers, it is possible organize a unique canyoning tour through Kakia Lagada – the Evil Gorge. In springtime and after the first rainfall in autumn, small lakes form and, during the summer, the gorge is without water, but still challenging. The canyoning tour makes your holiday on Kythira complete.
2) The stone bridge in Katouni is one of the most impressive monuments of Kythera. It was built during the period of British rule and is the largest stone bridge in Greece. Its length reaches 110m, it is 15m long and 6m wide. It is characteristically based on 13 arches and 12 wickets in absolute symmetry! Designed and supervised by Macfale himself, the bridge was completed in 1826 as part of the road connecting the capital with Avlemonas, the biggest British engineering project in Kythera. Due to its exceptional architecture the bridge can hold more weight than originally planned. Legend has it that Macfale, the island's British governor, fell in love with a girl from Katouni village and decided to build the bridge near her house in order to see her daily, while supervising the project.
3) Located west in Kythira, in the village of Mylopotamos Kato Chora. Is Venetian castle built in 1565 because of its strategic position from to protect the villagers from the pirates. Inside numbered many homes and churches and was inhabited until the 50's. A few of them survive today, some in good condition, which creates to many visitors a sense of transportation in the past. Inside the castle there are 9 churches, excellent architecture belonging to the 16th to 17th century, and is Panagia Mesosporitissa, the Prophet Elijah, St. Athanasius, St. Ioannis the Theologian, Saint Anargyroi, St. Nicholas, St. John the Baptist, and St. Demetrius. The sunset from the west side of the castle is considered as the most beautiful of Kythira overlooking
4) Anyone who visits the beach Diakofti will be confused and wonder if they are in some exotic island! The water is shallow and turquoise and the color of the sand is white. Located on the northeast side of the island, in one of the most beautiful sites of Kythera next to the harbor, it is an ideal beach for young children because of its depth. In the taverns by the seaside you can taste fresh fish, seafood and traditional Greek cuisine. A few meters away from the harbor you can also see the shipwreck that took place a few years ago and has become one of the island’s modern exhibits.
5) The village of Agia Pelagia started its development in the 1980s, and for several years was the island’s main harbor. Today, it is a village specifically geared towards tourism, with many good hotels, restaurants and shops. Along the seaside and close to many beaches, Agia Pelagia is one of the best choices for visitors. Recommended visits include the beaches of Lorentzo, Lagada, Firi Ammos (of Agia Pelagia), the Cave of Saint Sophia (one of three caves with the same name on the island) with an area of more than 120 m² full of stalactites and stalagmites, as well as the Cave of Venus in the small ravine of Galani.
6) Perhaps the most beautiful village of Kythera. Set on the eastern part of the island, Avlemonas is a coastal village with picturesque bays. There you’ll find many rooms to let, restaurants and cafes while the small swimming pool is fascinating for young and older kids! Swimming and diving, walking up to the Venetian fortress-observatory, witnessing the romantic atmosphere; it is no coincidence that those who visited the island of Kythera talk to friends first and foremost about the beauty of Avlemonas. Don’t forget to see the building with the sundial in the creek behind the village. Near Avlemonas lies the beach of Paleopolis, one of the biggest and most beautiful on the island.
