KYTHNOS, A REMOTE CYCLADIC ISLAND
Kythnos is a small island that belongs to the Cyclades. It is located south of Kea and north of Serifos and is part of the Western Cyclades.
The ferry ride from Athens is 1 hour and 40 minutes from Lavrion port.
Its proximity to the Greek Capital has made Kythnos an ideal weekend getaway for the Athenians, especially during Spring and the shoulder seasons (May-June and September). July and August are the busiest months on the island.
Despite its short distance to Athens, Kythnos has only started developing touristically in recent years and has maintained an authentic character. Chora and Driopida are two villages with lovely traditional architecture, stone-built houses, and white paved alleys. The island counts 99 beaches with many of them remaining completely unspoiled. Ιts most famous beach and one of the most beautiful beaches in Greece is Kolona, a thin strip of land separating two beaches.
Many hotels are located in the villages of Merichas, Chora, Loutra, and Kanala. You will also find hotels in numerous other places since they are scattered in different locations on the island. The majority of them are small, family-run units, rooms-to-let, and apartments. They are either new or recently renovated structures and consist of well-equipped rooms, a small kitchenette, and a terrasse offering a beautiful sea view. If you are looking for a lavish stay, you will find a few luxury options which are mainly small suites and villas. Also, due to the big number of beaches, you will find many hotels on the beach or within a short walking distance. If you visit Kythnos without a car, then book your hotel in Merichas, Loutra, or Chora in order to move around by bus.
Due to the limited number of hotels, they sell out fast and early booking is recommended if you travel during June-August. Booking your hotel 4 months in advance is strongly recommended.
