Kythera- Avlemonas Village

Avlemonas is a picturesque village on the eastern coast of Kythera with a unique swimming grotto in the middle of "town". 

Seafood restaurants, small tavernas and trendy cafes dot the main drag and the ruins of a venetian castle stand by the shore.

 

 A lovely path winds through the rocky outcrop above the sea and offers the visitor a closer view of the iconic grotto.

A visitor to Kythera shouldn't miss a visit to Avlemonas and it's unique character.

Enjoy!
