Hiking

Discover Kythera on the trails. Kythera is a mountainous island that offers some beautiful walks. Between all these mountains, valleys and mountainsides there is a whole network of tracks and trails. In the past, when there were no automobiles and people were working in the field, trails were used to cut distances and time. Those trails still exist today, some of which are well hidden underneath Kythera’s vegetation. We will show you some paths that are in good condition and that hikers often take.

Since 2000 the local authorities and players in the tourism industry have been trying to highlight those paths. True enough, Kythera attracts visitors who like nature and choose the Island of Venus because of its unadulterated and lush environment, and hiking along the trails is among the choice activities of those visitors during their stay. So let’s go for a walk down the path…
