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 Space
This one-bedroom home offers a peaceful escape for travelers seeking privacy, nature, and quiet. The layout is open-plan — there is no door to the bedroom — creating a sense of flow and connection throughout the space. Floor-to-ceiling windows frame panoramic views of olive groves, dry-stone walls, and the sea beyond.
Inside, you’ll find:
A luxurious king bed with quality linens and pillows
Built-in stone shelving and warm, modern lighting
A cozy living and dining area with simple, elegant furnishings
A well-appointed bathroom with rain-style shower and essentials provided
Starlink internet for reliable remote work or streaming
Step outside to the shaded patio with comfortable lounge seating — the perfect place for your morning coffee, sunset drinks, or stargazing. The surrounding landscape is wild, fragrant, and full of quiet beauty.
