It was a warm day of August, when I departed from Athens, going to the delightful island where I come from, Kythira.
It was about time I visited Chytra, the small island, also known as "The Egg".
Some days later I got in the boat of captain Spyros and our short journey to Chytra began. My expectations were great, as I had heard a lot about it.
'Glass Bottom' left the harbor and in a few minutes we had already reached our destination. The view was indeed captivating.
There was a great cave and the water had a dazzling turquoise color. Spyros gave us full face masks and snorkels and everybody started swimming around, following Spyros instructions.
The cave was of enormous beauty and the see bottom fascinating. I could see all blue tints in it. It wasn't difficult to notice the coral starfish, almost flashing on the dark blue backround.
The rocks had a burgundy color, that I had never seen before.
I thought to myself what a marvelous place Chytra is ans how lucky I was to be there. Spyros started now explaining-just before the end- that this is the ideal time of the day to visit Chytra.
The sun was burning towards it and you could see the island at its best!
I got once again into the water. This last dive will remain unforgettable.
The images were so unique and precious! I only wished to be able to experience this great little adventure once again soon and smiled satisfied.
