Kapsali & the Twin Bays

Kapsali is perhaps the most popular tourist hub on the island of Kithira. Located in the southernmost part of the island, it is a lovely seaside village with a special characteristic. It features two wonderful bays, inviting you to swim or just gaze at the sea and the tiny islet of Chytra in the middle. This is the island where Sempreviva grows – a cute flower with yellow blossoms that never fades away. According to the myth, a man that offers these flowers to a woman makes sure that their lover will never die. So a visit there is a must, don’t you think?
