Choraki

Kythira


You wouldn't imagine that this discreet little place, with a searing-white interior and a couple of outdoor chairs haloed by bougainvillea, is the town's favourite bar. In summer it gets busy with an international crowd, but the rest of the year the town's young people make it their own.

To get onto the balcony you'll have to wade through a clothes shop, which is an unusual touch.
