Kythira (; , also transliterated as
Cythera,
Kythera and
Kithira) is an
island in Greece lying opposite the south-eastern tip of the
Peloponnese peninsula. It is traditionally listed as one of the seven main
Ionian Islands, although it is distant from the main group. Administratively, it belongs to the
Islands regional unit, which is part of the
Attica region (although at large distance from
Attica itself).
