Kastri, Kythera

"This is an article about a village on the island of Kythera; for the village on Crete, see Kastri, Crete."

Kastri is an offshore village in the Piraeus prefecture of the island of Kythera in the present day country of Greece. Kastri has been occupied by humans since the Bronze Age, [Broodbank and Kiriatzi, 2007] and was an important settlement of the Early Helladic/Minoan Period of Crete. [Ohio State University] Kastri is thought to have been an early settlement of Minoan Crete. Kastri on Kythera is considerably but directly north of the ancient site of Kydonia, which was the major northwestern Cretan ancient city. [Hogan, 2008]
