About Us
You have a choice of peaceful retreats on the unspoilt island of Kythira
Kythira is a fairly unknown Greek island situated just off the southernmost tip of the Peloponnese and to the east of Crete. The town of Potamos is in the northern part of Kythira and is one of the main shopping centres on the island. Potamos has all the necessities such as a supermarket, a post office, a bank, a pharmacy, a butchers and a bakery; there are also many cafe’s, restaurants and tavernas in and around the town. Most importantly however, there is a local produce market every Sunday from June to September, when the town comes alive with both locals and visitors sampling the local produce and catching up over a coffee.
“Being that I am originally from Ireland, you can be sure of the warmest Irish welcome. I understand that your holiday is your time to relax and I will always respect your privacy, however my door is always open if you fancy a coffee or a chat.” Claire Cremin, your host
