For more than 40 years, Porto Delfino has welcomed guests to the island of Kythira.

Founded and lovingly cared for by Christina and her family, the hotel became known for its warm hospitality, breathtaking setting, and genuine connection to the island and its people. Over the decades, travelers from around the world arrived as guests and often returned as friends.

As her daughter Myrto grew, her own journey led her beyond Kythira. Through years of travel, teaching, and studying yoga, she discovered the profound impact that retreats can have on people’s lives. She witnessed how stepping away from daily routines, immersing in nature, and gathering in community can create space for reflection, growth, and meaningful connection.

Together, mother and daughter began to imagine a new chapter for Porto Delfino.

A place that would honor its history while embracing a new purpose.

Over the past three years, Porto Delfino has gradually evolved from a beloved family hotel into a dedicated retreat center, welcoming retreat leaders and communities from around the world. Today, the property has been thoughtfully shaped to support yoga retreats, wellness experiences, teacher trainings, workshops, and transformational gatherings.

While much has evolved, the heart of Porto Delfino remains unchanged.

The warmth of hospitality.
The love for Kythira.
The belief that meaningful experiences bring people together.

Today, Christina and Myrto continue to welcome guests as they always have—sharing not only a beautiful place, but a way of life inspired by simplicity, nature, community, and the timeless spirit of Kythira.

Because Porto Delfino is more than a destination.

It is the meeting point between a family’s story, an island’s beauty, and the journeys of the people who gather here.
