Aquarium

Kythira


Exquisite one-off pieces of bespoke jewellery are available in this boutique, overseen by the eponymous fish tank. It's not always open and hours vary, but it's worth persevering; if you hang around long enough the owner might come out of the next-door house. It's on the street that leads down the hill to Hora's main square.
