It takes only 1 hour and 40 minutes from the port of Lavrion to find yourself on an island with pure Cycladic beauty.

Pure beaches untouched by human hand, 130 chapels hidden in hills and beaches, fine local products and dishes, whitewashed traditional villages, Kythnos is the island that undoubtedly creates the need for a next visit.

The serene atmosphere of the island fascinates every visitor. Its beauty rewards richly.

Although Kythnos (or Thermia, due to its thermal springs) is one of the closest Cycladic islands to Attica, it remains one of the most unknown corners of the Aegean.

In its northern part are Merichas, the port of the island, Chora (or Messaria), the capital, Loutra and Dryopida.

The Chora of Kythnos is located at the highest point of the island and is a traditional village, which preserves all the characteristic elements of the Cycladic architecture.

When the sun sets and the alleys illuminate, the shops of Chora look like an open, welcoming courtyard in which you can have lunch with your drink, watching the moon and enjoying the fast pace of the area.

The southern part of Kythnos is almost uninhabited, with the only exceptions being the area of Panagia Kanala, where is the famous monastery (with the unique pine forest of the island), and the small bay of Agios Demetriou.

Unpretentious and serene, Kythnos offers authentic hospitality to lovers of simplicity, freedom and alternative holidays in the arms of nature. And if you belong to the friends of spa tourism, the famous hot springs of Loutra promise one of the most beautiful experiences of rejuvenation and wellness in one of the most historic natural spas in Greece.

In Kythnos, the beauties are countless, without having disturbed its Aegean character despite its close distance from the capital.
