About the Beach

Paleopolis is the longest and most historically significant beach on Kythira, stretching across a vast area on the eastern coast near the village of Avlemonas. This expansive shore is a mix of sand and pebbles, offering deep and very clean water that is perfect for long, undisturbed swims. The area is rich in history, as it is believed to be the site where the ancient city of Skandeia was located and where Aphrodite rose from the sea. Because of its size, Paleopolis never feels crowded, providing a sense of total freedom and connection to the landscape. It is an unorganized beach, so visitors can find their own private corner among the small dunes and rocky patches. The horizon feels endless here, and the atmosphere is profoundly peaceful. It is a must-visit for nature lovers and history enthusiasts who appreciate a raw, unrefined coastal environment with deep roots in Greek mythology.
