Kythnos is a gastronomic experience, with many traditional and local products worth trying, at least once in your life. The sfougato (a variant of cheese croquette) with Thermiotiko cheese should definitely be tasted, since it is the most famous food of the island. Also should not be omitted the caper salad, as well as the thyme honey, which is famous for its quality.
Handmade dishes such as pitaro, hood pie and kolopi are prepared daily from the traditional bakeries… let the smells guide you!
The cuisine of Kythnos follows the Cycladic gastronomic traditions. Try fine local syglino (pork with fat) and Kythnos sausages.
The Kythnian buns are made from barley or wheat flour or mixed, they are flavored with anise, they are crushed and match not only with the cheeses of the island, but also with the Greek breakfast coffee.
It is also worth mentioning the very close relationship of this island with the vineyard.
A relationship that despite any fluctuations, which were mainly due to the violent population declines in the years of the Middle Ages and the Renaissance, remains strong to this day.
The visitor of the island deserves to experiment and try, if given the opportunity, samples of local vinification.
