Sorry I'm not Greek but was influenced very heavily in my teens by a nice businessman and his family who were originally from Kythera. Blokes name is Mick (Minas) Raissis. If Mick reads this 20 or so years after the fact, hope you are ok.

My father was born in Papadianika (LAKONIA). I have been told that my great grandfather had changed his surname to Tsirigotis during WWII. I do not know whether Kythera is his original birth place or not. His original name was either Iliakopoulos or Diakopoulos.

I WANT TO THANK THE GOOD KYTHERIANS FROM AROUND THE WORLD FOR THEIR DEDICATION AND LOVE FOR THE LAND THAT THEY ORIGINATED FROM, OR SO DID THEIR ANCESTORS. WE AS KYTHERIANS ONLY KNOW THE IMPORTANCE AND LOVE FOR KYTHERA AND FOR ONE ANOTHER AT ALL TIMES. AND (TSIRIGOTES) = KYTHERIANS ARE RESPECTED FOR THEIR GOOD NATURE AND PATRIOTISM TO THE HELLENICK NATION AS WELL AS THE LAND THAT THEY WHERE BORN BY FATE, OR THEIR ADOPTED LAND. I WANT TO SALUTE EACH AND EVERY KYTHERIAN AND I CONGRATULATE THE LOVING FAMILIES THAT THEY HAVE PAST THIS TRADITION TO THEIR YOUTH OF KYTHERA, OUR YOUTH. THEY ARE THE ONES THAT WILL BE THE HONOURED KYTHERIANS OF THE FUTURE AND WILL HOLD THE INHERITED MARVELLOUS TRADITIONS OF OUR CULTURE. I SAY THE WISDOM OF GOD AND THE PRAYERS OF THE HOLLIEST GOD MOTHER MAY GUIDE YOU, SO THE NEXT GENERATION WILL BE THE ONES TO THANK YOU FOR YOUR HARD WORK AND LOVE FOR THAT FAMOUS WORLD WIDE! ISLAND THAT EVERY ONE HONOURS KYTHERIAN AND NONE KYTHERIAN. YOU CERTAINLY HAVE EARNED IT. I SALUTE YOU AGAIN EVERY BROTHER AND SISTER FROM KYTHERIAN HERITAGE.
