Kythnos Reviews -General

Everything was pretty closed in Kythnos in early May. Most hotels hadn't opened yet and it was troublesome for us to get a room that time of the year. We had started to send reservation e-mails from end of March but we got no replies. In generally, this system sometimes doesn't work in Greece. Hotel owners are not much familiar with online booking, especially in small hotels. Anyway, someone answered us jut a week before we come to Greece. Otherwise, we would go to another island (probably Paros or Milos, but we have already gone there and liked, but we wanted to pick up a new destination).

Kythnos is certainly very traditional. The moment I saw Chora, it striked me as a very romantic destination. It is more of a village rather than a capital, but this is where you can find public services on the island. Driopida is also very nice, sometimes I thought it was a mountainous village. Only when you see the sea around, you realize you are on an island. I didn't swim much on Kythnos because the water was still a bit chilly. We did a lot of sunbathing of course. That is what I like on beaches: to lay on the soft sand, sunbathe and read a magazine or listen to music. Beaches looked crystal but I can't give more advice on that.
