Greeks from Kythera were the first to
immigrate to Australia and in 1922 founded the Kytherian Brotherhood of
Australia, known today as the Kytherian Association of Australia.
According
to the Association’s Cultural Officer, George Vardas, there are more than
60,000 Greeks with roots in Kythera who live in Australia.
This
year, the Kytherian Association of Australia is promoting tourism in Kythera,
which will begin on May 15 in Sydney. During the event, the travel guide In
Search of Kythera & Antikythera by Tzeli Hadzidimitriou will be presented.
According
to Vardas, Hadzidimitriou, in her travel guide and information guide about
Kythera wrote of the secret beauties of the islands and to accompany its
readers on a dreamy journey.
In the
350 pages of the guide the reader can find rich information about the mythology
and the history of both Kythera and Antikythera, the architecture and art, the
local cuisine and the Kytherians activities, the sites of the island and, of
course, all the useful information concerning reaching the place, hotel
and restaurants.
The
guide also focuses on the alternative activities that the visitor can
experience once in the island, as the unexplored nature and the sites of
excellent beauty are still included in the untouched paradises of Greece.
