The British ruled over the islands for nearly half a century; under British rule, they were governed by a High Commissioner who was granted both legislative and executive powers. During the period of British rule, the city was known as Carigo or Cerigo, a name it had been acquired under Venetian control. After a long period of turbulence in the colony, which even eminent Commissioners as <a href="/wiki/William_Ewart_Gladstone" title="William Ewart Gladstone">William Ewart Gladstone</a> who served in the role for three weeks in the winter of 1859 failed to resolve, the British discussion whether they were a waste of money or a vital overseas possession ended with the cession of the Ionian Islands, including Kythira, to the new <a href="/wiki/George_I_of_Greece" title="George I of Greece">King George I of Greece</a>, who was brother-in-law to the Prince of Wales. </p><p>The chief town of the island, Kythira (or Chora, "village"), houses the Historical Archives of Kythira, the second largest in the Ionian islands, after <a href="/wiki/Corfu" title="Corfu">Corfu</a>. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Geography">Geography</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Kythira&action=edit&section=5" title="Edit section: Geography"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Kythira_Satellite.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/4/40/Kythira_Satellite.jpg" decoding="async" width="137" height="143" class="mw-file-element" data-file-width="137" data-file-height="143" /></a><figcaption>Satellite image of Kythira</figcaption></figure> <p>Kythira has a land area of 279.593 square kilometres (107.95 sq mi); it is located at the southwestern exit from the <a href="/wiki/Aegean_Sea" title="Aegean Sea">Aegean Sea</a>, behind <a href="/wiki/Cape_Malea" class="mw-redirect" title="Cape Malea">Cape Malea</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-11" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-11"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>10<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The rugged terrain is a result of prevailing winds from the surrounding seas which have shaped its shores into steep rocky cliffs with deep bays.

In 1933, efforts were made to construct a port in the village of Agia Pelagia, yet financial and governmental problems meant that it was only decades later that one was built. That small port of Agia Pelagia (currently being renovated from a ferry dock to a tourist/recreational boat dock) was the island's main port until the mid-1990s.

Proposals have been made to attach a marina to the south side of the port, however no plans or timetables have been produced.
