You will delight in your stay at the Painter 's Country Home, on the Ionian island of Kythira, Greece. The 400 year old farmhouse is a lovingly restored and modernized gem and was recreated by a sentimental granddaughter (now, an internationally famous Grecian artist). It is colorful, comfortable, flower draped, and, charming (especially for our group of 4 adults). The peaceful setting frames the birdsong, and the goat bells, the cicadas, and the church chimes. It is conveniently located and near the central town of Potamos with its delicious tavernas and well stocked markets. We all adored the Sunday taverna music and stayed many hours listening and watching the local villager's singing and dancing. There were many swimming beach options just a short drive away, and its an easy drive to sight see Kythira's highlights. The mythological birthplace of Aphrodite lives up to its reputation.
We highly recommend this destination!

Tip for consumers:
The owner will be happy to meet you at the airport, guide you to the property, show you the ins and outs of the house, and mark Kythira's sightseeing map. Extremely helpful. The owner was always just a text away and eager to assist. She set up 2 delicious meals for us at her favorite taverna, Lemonia. When I sat on my glasses the owner took them to an optometrist, and when my husband left his backpack on the airport curb, she went back to retrieve it, and it was untouched. Remarkable care and h
