A contemporary art exhibition titled "Kytheria Aphrodite II: From Hidden Erotic Passion to the Online Search for Love" has opened successfully in the Chania regional unit. The inauguration was held at the Polykentro Voukolion, a cultural venue in the village of Voukolies, located approximately 20 kilometers southeast of Chania city. The exhibition explores themes of desire, mythology, and the evolution of romantic connection in the digital age, drawing on the symbolism of Aphrodite, the ancient Greek goddess of love closely associated with the island of Kythera.

Those traveling from Chania city can reach Voukolies by car via the main inland road heading toward the Apokoronas and Selino regions.
