🌿 Spring in Kythira
Spring on the island is magical: nature is in full bloom, the air is filled with the scent of wildflowers, and the Easter spirit wraps Kythira in a serene and emotional atmosphere. Avlemonas, with its picturesque harbor and tranquil scenery, becomes a backdrop of quiet reflection and renewal.

🕯️ Good Friday in Avlemonas
One of the most moving moments of Easter is Good Friday night. The local villagers collect small metal cans and turn them into makeshift lanterns. These are placed on rocks, castle ruins, and around the harbor, creating an otherworldly scene of hundreds of flickering flames. Combined with the sound of Byzantine hymns, the sight is simply breathtaking — a deeply emotional moment that touches the soul of every visitor.
