A number of the pictures on this page were made by very much appreciated correspondent Dirk Slegers who stayed at Kythira in September 2008. He liked very much the authenticity of the island (not so many people). His favorite village was Kapsali in the south of the island where he stayed at the hotel Cengo in a large room with a view of the sea and the Chora (40 euro a day in 2008 - single room).
