Wild beauty and isolation

Antikythira is situated between the islands of Kythira and Crete, lost in the open sea. Known also as Tsirigoto, its Venetian name, it is a small, isolated island of wild beauty, with very few permanent residents, two tavernas, tranquillity, and the endless blue of the sea.
Antikythira became world famous thanks to the famous shipwreck discovered off the island in 1900. Unique finds emerged from the depths of the sea, such as the Antikythira Ephebe or Youth and the Antikythira Mechanism, an enigmatic object considered the oldest computer in the world. Both are now housed in the National Archaeological Museum in Athens and inspire visitors. Nevertheless, the island itself remained almost completely unknown.
We know that it was known as Aegila in antiquity, and that it passed into the hands of the Romans and later the Venetians, never experiencing Ottoman rule. In 1815, it came under British control, along with the Ionian Islands, and became a place of exile. Almost nothing of this past can be discerned in the Antikythira of today.
Here, amidst the rocks and the sea, you will truly enjoy peaceful holidays, connect with nature and with yourself, listen to the waves and the breeze, and recharge with positive energy. Hiking, fishing, boat trips, endless swimming, and flavours such as kokkinisto goat stew will encapsulate your holiday in this small paradise.
