About Us

A peaceful rural retreat with outstanding views – a very private oasis

Kythera is a very special, unique and unspoilt island on the very southern tip of the Peloponnese. It is known as the birthplace of Venus and is blessed with numerous archaeological sites. Kythera is also fortunate to have a variety of beaches white everything  from white sand to rounded pebbles. Some have full facilities with bars and beach lounges to more remote smaller ones preferred by lovers and naturists. The island is served by regular flights from Athens and ferry services from Piraeus, Neapoli, Gytheo and Crete.

We are ideally placed for a fuss free escape whoever you are. Everyone get the same one-to-one personal service!
