Tuesday, July 19, 2011 Kythera of Greece. The island of Aphrodite and the Pirates(V). Κύθηρα. Το νησί της Αφροδίτης και των πειρατών(V).Cythère de la Grèce. L'île d'Aphrodite et les Pirates(V).

Kythera is not a large island. And like most islands of Greece, there is not much fresh water. But there is this spring near the village Mylopotamos, where there is water coming out and forms this beautiful small waterfall and the pool under is and many more pools downstream. It is a beautiful and valuable source of life for the island. Can you imagine all fairies and water nymphs bathing in this pool and dancing and singing around it and taking men' s minds off their heads?
Τα Κύθηρα, όπως τα περισσότερα ελληνικά νησιά, δεν έχουν πολλά νερά. Αλλά δίπλα στο όμορφο χωριό Μυλοπόταμος, υπάρχει αυτή η πηγή, που σχηματίζει έναν μικρό καραράκτη, και την λιμνούλα που βέπετε κάτω απ' αυτόν. Επίσης πιό κάτω στο ποταμάκι, σχηματίζονται υπέροχες όμορφες λιμνούλες με τα νερά του. Φανταστείτε τις νεράιδες και τις νύμφες να λούζονται στις λιμνούλες και να χορεύουν γύρω απ' αυτές και να ξελογιάζουν τους άνδρες.

  8. So how many fairies and nymphs did you spot Costas? :) The waterfall was a welcome relief from the summer heat I imagine. Nice to stand under it and cool off!
