When Lord Elgin wanted to pass with the stolen Parthenon Marbles from the sea of Avlemona to the east of Kythera, nature seems to have wanted to prevent this passage. So the story tells That is why, as the locals say, it ended in the shipwreck that took place in 1802. It was when Elgin’s ship sank outside the port of Avlemona in southeastern Kythera, transporting the Parthenon sculptures to England. Where exactly? Where unexpected beauty motivates you to discover it under the bright sun… In Avlemona, the most beautiful fishing village in the Mediterranean, on the coastline of Kythera. The distinguished position is held by this seaside village that owes its personality to its picturesque coves with its crystal clear green waters.

The beauty of Avlemona on the island of Kythera

The island of Kythera without drumbeats and without ever being involved in the game of major tourist destinations, “sitting” in its corner, somewhere between the Ionian, Aegean and Cretan Seas. Within a few years, however, suddenly the lights of the summer holidays fell on it and they … lift it up! Part of the blinding glow and visibility that attracts tourist interest. It is an area of Avlemona with its charming natural beauty and enchanting… Pool.

The version of the origin of the name of the settlement probably comes from the word avlemmon (‘a’ depriving + look). It means “where the eye does not reach” and is certainly not identified with desire and reality. The village is built in Cycladic style. Its sea attracts visitors for both swimming and diving, as it allows you to admire it from above.
