Chytra on Kythera island

At a short distance across the harbor of Kapsali  there is one of the most impressive parts of the island Kythera. Is the skerry of Chytra or else Avgo (egg). On its south side there is a cave with enchanting colors both in the exterior and on the seabed. At the end of the cave there is a haven for seals. Going up on the isle requires attention, as the ground is steep and rocky.

The rare and protected species of falcons (Varvaki) built their nests on these steep rocks. Also, the island’s local “flower”, “Sempreviva”, blooms in this difficult terrain, handpicked each June by experienced locals only, due to the difficult passages!
