Hello, We're holding an information night on March 30th at Sydney University regarding archaeological digs taking place in Kythera during July this year. Learn about plans regarding excavations at three different archaeological sites in Kythera that will take place during July this year, searching for clues left behind from mysterious ancient civilisations. Looking for a special new adventure? How about connecting with Kythera on a really deep level? Positions exist for weekly volunteers to assist Greek archaeologists excavate at Paliokastro, the location of Kythera’s ancient capital. Or visit for a site tour to learn more about ancient Greek history and how archaeologists work. An entire buried citadel exists under the side of a mountain, which is thought to have accommodated more than 1,000 people and spans a period of approximately 500 years before Christ. It was a Laconian-controlled outpost, under the protection of a garrison of Spartan Hoplites. Special Guest: Dr Stavros Paspalas, Deputy Director, Australian Archaeological Institute at Athens Who Should Attend? * Potential volunteers who want to participate in Kytherian excavations in July. * History buffs or anyone with an interest in exploration, adventure, ancient civilisations or archaeology. * Academics, students (particularly in archaeology), members of community groups, Hellenic committees. * People who love Kythera. * Anyone planning on being in Kythera/Greece during July.
