Kythnos is an ideal destination not only for its natural beauty, but also for its healing hot water springs in Loutra which are said to derive from Mount Vesuvius. Kythnos is best known for its Cycladic architecture, traditional villages and long beautiful beaches that will impress any beach lover. Almost all beaches feature crystal clear waters and white sand, while most of them are unorganized and undeveloped.
During the day a hike around the island will bring you in front of ruined castles, chapels and beaches. Take a walk in the picturesque villages Chora and Driopida and watch the sunset, while drinking a sweet cocktail. The most popular sightseeing in Kythnos is the Monastery of Panagia Kanala, protector of the island. On the northern side of Kythnos, you will find the imposing Castle of Oria, with its stunning walls and residences that survive ’till today.
Of course, don’t miss the chance to swim in th most popular beach of Kythnos, Kolona, which is actually resembles a strip of golden sand that connects the islet of Agios Loukas with Kythnos. It’s one of the most beautiful beaches on the island and a must-visit for any traveler!
