Tribute to Spyridonas & Marika Stai

Portrait busts of Spyridon and Marika Stai:

The Association backed the initiative launched by the Kythera community president, Nik. Th. Nikiforakis, for the sculpting of the busts of Spyridonas and Marika Stai, great benefactors of Kythera’s youth, which were placed in the central square of Hora in 1989.

It was a due tribute to the eminent Kytherian politician, who among everything else, saw to the foundation, in 1921, of the Kythera Gymnasium, and to his wife, who made over the larger part of her fortune to the setting up of scholarships for Kytherian students.
