Kythira Strait (also Kythirian Straits, Kythira–Antikythira Strait or Kithera Channel) is a waterway off Kythira in Southern Greece. The Kythira–Antikythira Strait is situated within the Western Hellenic arc. It measures approximately 100 kilometres (62 mi) in length and is situated between the Peloponnese and the island of Crete.[1][2][3]
Many ships have sunk in the area, including HMS Greyhound (H05), HMS Gloucester (62), and SS Ivernia.[4]
