EAST ON KYTHERA

epitaph in AvlemonasOne of the most beautiful moments in Kythera. The intense religious spirit of Kythera and the disposition of Kytherians to welcome the summer in the island, creates really beautiful pictures during Easter. Thus, what you mustn't miss is the epitaph in Chora with flaring candles lit up from the Castle and the prowl in the alleyways of the capital. The same setting, in Avlemonas, maybe a bit more romantic and with the sea reigning through the reflection of the flaring cannikins on its surface. The Resurrection is more beautiful in small villages in a spirit of family and brotherhood. The prowl of the icon of Myrtidiotissa begins on Monday of Easter at Chora, where it remained before the Resurrection, is brought around all the villages for the following days and finally returns to the monastery. It is one of the oldest customs of the island.
