Paliopol is undoubtedly the most favored area of Kythira. Apart from its archaeological and historical importance, the region is famous for its beautiful landscape, its mild climate, its fertile plains and its excellent varieties of table grapes and wine grapes (Fokiano).

The famous and much-sung Palaiopolitikos black arikara (Fokiano), the early
grape, was once loaded on boats for the Piraeus market, where it was in demand.
