Important Public Notice - Parking and Traffic Restrictions
The Municipality of Kythera wishes to inform residents and visitors that, following the completion of the redevelopment works in the settlement of Avlemonas, the parking restrictions provided under Article 38 of the Greek Driving Code are now fully in force and will be strictly enforced.
In particular, the parking or stopping of any type of vehicle is strictly prohibited on tactile paving for the visually impaired (yellow guidance strips), wheelchair access ramps, and all other designated accessibility areas.
These restrictions also apply throughout the island, including the Belvedere area in Chora, Fratsia Square, Mitata, and any other location where tactile paving for the visually impaired or designated parking spaces for Municipal vehicles, Civil Protection, or persons with disabilities (AMEA) are provided.
The same restrictions apply to any other protected parking or access areas, as well as to all other locations covered by Article 38 of the Greek Driving Code.
The Municipality also reminds the public that vehicle traffic restrictions remain in force daily in the settlements of Chora, Kapsali, Avlemonas, and Mitata during the hours specified by the relevant regulatory decisions. These restrictions are clearly indicated on the information signs located at the entrances to each settlement and must be observed at all times.
As Kythera is currently experiencing exceptionally high visitor numbers and increased traffic, all residents and visitors are respectfully requested to comply fully with the above regulations. Daily inspections are being carried out by the Hellenic Police, and any violations may result in the imposition of fines and other sanctions provided for under the applicable legislation.
The Municipality of Kythera thanks everyone for their cooperation and understanding and wishes all residents and visitors a safe, pleasant and enjoyable summer.
