Kythnos Geography

An authentic Cycladic island situated below Kea, above Serifos and opposite Syros, Kythnos lies on the north-western side of the complex, 3 hours by ferry from the port of Piraeus and 2.5 from Lavrio.
The island's most characteristic geographical feature is the thermal baths on the northern side of the island, in the village of Loutra, which means baths in Greek. These baths, intertwined with local history, have been famous since ancient times for their healing properties for many diseases.

The geography of Kythnos stands out for its golden beaches with azure waters, low hills, seaside villages, and overall wild landscape. The highest peak on the island is Kakovoulo, reaching an altitude of 355 meters. The beaches of Kythnos are surrounded by the typical arid and wild landscape of the Cyclades and even the most renowned of them offer privacy and quiet. The most famous beach is Kolona, a narrow piece of land that traverses the sea creating two different beaches. Other known beaches are Gaidouromantra, Megali Ammos (Kanala), and Apokrousi.
