It is not what we get. But who we become, what we contribute... that gives meaning to our lives.
Anthony Robbins (1968-)
This is where people of Kytherian decent who have contributed to their community in an extraordinary way will be featured. They need not be "famous" is the usual sense of the world, simply extraordinary.

THE FIRST KYTHERIAN WOMAN DOWN UNDER.

Anyone involved in research of this nature knows that the task is time consuming and not always rewarding, as names are in many instances illegible, ...

This year’s ‘Kytherian Summer Edition’ pays tribute to the man who had the foresight and inspiration to use the art of photography to immortalise peasant life.

Anyone who regularly visited the village of Mitata in the 1980s and '90s probably ate at George and Maria Stamatakou's restaurant which was perched near the ravine on the roller-coaster-road out of the back of the village. The months I spent each year on the island are ...
