First face-to-face meeting this year

We are happy to announce the meeting on 13.06. at the Potamos Community Center (Pneumatiko Kentro) at 14.00.

Suggestions for the agenda are very welcome on WhatsApp! We are excited to see you all for an inspirational and fruitful discussion :-)

We, Kythera Green, were invited by Dimitris Barelos, on behalf of the Natural Environment and Climate Change Agency (NECCA) (https://necca.gov.gr/en/n-e-c-c-a/n-e-c-c-as-objectives-and-tasks/ ) to join them in an educational and environmental beach clean. NECCA is the national organization responsible for the management and protection of Greece’s protected areas, including Natura 2000 sites. Its mission includes biodiversity conservation, environmental awareness and the sustainable management of natural resources. The beach clean took place on the 08. June 2026. It was a great turn-up from all over the island!

About Kythera
and Antikythera

The island of Kythera, also known as Kithira or Cerigo, as it was called by the Venetians, is a large (278 square kilometers) Greek island lying south of the Peloponnesus and north of Crete. About 27 nautical miles to the south lies its small pendant, the rocky island of Antikythera
or Cerigotto. Confusingly for many visitors, both islands are historically and culturally part of the Ionian Islands, even though they lie far to the south of the main group; to add to the confusion, both belong administratively to the Department of Attica.
