King Paul and Queen Friderika visited Kythera 1948. They landed in Kapsali and the boyscouts had laid branches of myrtle on the ground.As we had no electricity in Kastro, we had arranged empty tins with diezel in them at the Kastro in Hora, lit up the tins and made up the words "Καλως Ηλθατε στα Κυθηρα" "Welcome to Kythera" Everything has changed the last sixty years.
This photo was taken in Athens in 1922. My father Valerios Kalokairinos born Alexandrades 1893,died 1969,my mother Maria was born 1900 and died 1962
