Situated south of the Peloponnese, Kythira is a truly unspoilt island that doesn’t really attract island hoppers and other ‘typical’ tourists, but rather people who come to stay longer and enjoy the quiet atmosphere. Pitsinades is a tiny car-free settlement in the hilly centre of the island with only ten year-round inhabitants. There are quite a few totally ruined buildings, but also several beautifully restored houses.

It is hard to imagine that 20 years ago the two buildings of Guesthouse Pitsinades were ruins as well. They used to belong to a large family, but were abandoned in the fifties. It took Lena Yannakaki, who bought the property in 1985, seven years to restore them. She followed their original layout, retaining all the beautiful old elements (like the stone window frames, the arched doors and the ovens and fireplaces) and adding some traditional details, such as pebble mosaics in the floors. She created six traditionally styled rooms, several with arched ceilings. The décor is low-key but not plain simple – a few antiques and little arty touches nicely complement their authentic feel. They offer simple comfort but the essentials are there: a large shower to freshen up and a refrigerator to chill your drinks; there’s no air conditioning but thick walls that keep everything pleasantly cool.

A nice little courtyard with greenery and flowers completes the picture – this is a wonderful place to stay if you are looking for total peace and quiet in a charming environment.

How to get there
Kythira can be reached by plane (one daily flight from Athens) and by boat (daily connections from Neapoli, and less frequent services from Gythio and Kissamos on Crete). When you arrive at the port at Diakofto, you just follow the road, until you reach Aroniadika, where you turn right towards Agia Pelagia. After about 100 m, in a double bend, you turn left towards Pitsinades (1 km).

Activities
Kythira is a place where you can enjoy the peaceful island life by combining walking, hiking and swimming in quiet beaches. Oh yes, there are also 350 churches, chapels and monasteries to be discovered!
