General Overview

Wake up to sweeping views of the Mediterranean and fall asleep to the sound of cicadas in this thoughtfully designed stone house tucked into the hills of unspoiled Kythira. Please note: This property is in the quiet village of Gerakari, just 10 minutes by car from the villages of Potamos and Karavas, where you’ll find shops, tavernas, and a bakery. The village is surrounded by Gerakari Forest—the largest wooded area in northern Kythira—a coastal pine-and-eucalyptus landscape threaded with dirt roads and footpaths that offer easy, scenic hikes through ravines, springs, and sea-view clearings. A car is essential for exploring the island, visiting beaches, and accessing amenities. Kythira is a rare gem for those who value beauty, stillness, and simplicity. If you’re looking to disconnect, breathe deeply, and experience a slower pace of life, this is your place.

The layout is open-plan — there is no door to the bedroom — creating a sense of flow and connection throughout the space.

"We're just starting out with this home exchange idea. Not sure when we want to go. We're thinking we'd like longer stays (3-4 weeks)."
