Antikythira
Antikythera is a Greek island with a population
of 45 people and a land mass of 20 sq. km,
its coastline is 24 km, 38 km south-east of
Kythera,is the most remote island in the aegean
sea and definitely one for the recluses. The
island was fortified by the Venetians in 1207,
but piracy remained a huge problem for the
inhabitants; today these are mainly descended
from Cretan colonists who settled here in
1792.
There are boats to Crete
and Kythira, but
only once a week.
