Travelling alone to Kythera

submitted by Renee Payne on 14.02.2006


I have visited Kythera once, with my family in 1999. I am planning to return, alone, in May, and will stay in Pitsinianika, in the mepty house owned by my grandparents.

My main questions are; is it safe for a 20 yr old female to stay alone in a house on Kythera for a few weeks? and are there places where I can hire transport, perhaps a vespa, so I dont have to rely on Taxis. I dont know much Greek - should I study up before I leave?

Any advice would be appreciated, as last time I visited was in winter, I have no idea what to expect in the peak season.

Thanking you,

Renee

I have a 22-year-old daughter, and I would not have the slightest fear if she decided to stay in our "patriko spitti" in Karavas, on her own.

May is not the peak season, and you should have no difficulty renting a vespa when you arrive on Kythera.

There are vehicle hire companies on Kythera. If you wish to book a vehicle beforehand, you can try Panayotis S Defterevos, on Ph: 27360 31600, or Fax: 27360 31789. Alternatively you can email on [email protected], and/or visit the web-site on www.panayotis-rent-a-car.gr.

One of Greece's great cultural conferences - Panionia 8 - will be on in Kythera in May. Do try and catch some sessions!
