Having been to Kythira first in 1992 I was keen to find out new restaurants after many years away. Everyone heads to Avlemonas but misses Skandeia, as I did on this trip. However I found it the 2nd time around and what a find it...was. Run, of course, by Greeks of Australian Descent (most of the Island emigrated to Oz) it has a beautiful feel under the cooling trees in open country. The staff were excellent and the Mother the chef. Superb food with flavors and spices all sourced locally. A place you could spend all day but I suggest you arrive for opening at 1pm, take all the time you need and then head to Paleopoli beach 5 minutes away which is calm waters and the sun sets over the beach. A perfect day after a perfect meal. Try it!More

Very picturesque open air sitting, along the lines of a traditional Greek tavern. Decent food, decent service, decent prices.

Great place, wonderful food, great service. Super recommendable. We stayed in Avlemanos where we didnt like any of the restaurants and it was a great surprise to have Skandeaia just 5min drive.

Amazing place to sit and eat all time of the day. Good and traditional options for everyone . Fast and polite service , a must visit when you visit the island .

Very expensive, nothing special, not friendly environment. The area is also without any view. We were very disappointed.

excellent family run restaurant, honest traditional food, great variety of vegetarian dishes, fast and friendly service, great location next to the beach in a shadowy and lush setting! highly rated!

Beautiful location close to the beach. Small catalog but definitely a value for money restaurant. Good choice for after beach early dinner.
