Kythira is technically part of the Ionian islands, but is some distance from the other both in geography and landscape. Historically Kythira has been a crossraods for many naval routes, and as a result has been influenced by a variety of cultures, reflected both in the architecture and customs. While its population has decreased, many thousands of Greek descendants living in the USA and Australia trace their roots back to Kythira, and a large amount of these come back to visit for their holidays. Kythira is also a popular destination for Athenians to visit, but its unspoilt beaches and traditional offerings have yet to be discovered by most northern-European island-hoppers.
