LIFE EXPERIENCES ON THE ISLAND OF PANAGIA MYRTIDIOTISSA

Easter in the villages of the island

Easter in Kythira is as special as the island itself. Besides, the Easter season is the best time to enjoy the nature of Kythira with the colors of spring flooding you.

In the beautiful picturesque chapels but also in the big churches of the island you can enjoy the sacred mystagogy of the days. You can choose many sacred temples these days to hear the wonderful sacred hymns of the day. Here are just a few suggestions.

EPITAPH IN CHORA

On Good Friday, visit the capital of Kythera, Chora, to follow the dirge that wanders in the hands of residents in its narrow alleys, accompanied by visitors and residents of the island.

The houses and shops of Chora have their doors open and at their entrance there is a holy icon and an incense burner to receive the blessing from the passing of the dirge.

EPITAPH IN AVLEMONAS

A beautiful suggestion to enjoy Good Friday is the settlement of Avlemonas, where a procession of the dirge takes place around and inside the village and the inhabitants have lit with flaming cans every point of the road that passes, while in the sea you form a burning cross.

Here the element of the sea reigns through the reflection that the burning cans bring to its surface.

RESURRECTION IN THE VILLAGES

On the night of the Resurrection, choose one of the small churches of the villages that offer a more authentic sense of religious celebration, as well as the well-known custom of fireworks.

On Easter Sunday, in Agia Pelagia you can participate in the big feast prepared by the locals, with local delicacies and many lambs roasting on the beach to the sounds of traditional music by local musicians.
