How can I travel there from abroad (London, Paris, and other cities)?

As there is no airport on the island, the only way to get there from abroad is to fly to Athens or a Cycladic island that boasts an international airport, namely Santorini and Mykonos, and then proceed to Kythnos. Athens is the best choice, as it is continually connected to Kythnos, while that may not be true in the cases of Santorini and Mykonos. That is dependent on ferry companies, which announce their official schedules for the summer season around March every year.
