Kythnos
It is a rugged, rocky island offering therapeutic waters, leisurely days by the sea, and a fine, but not overly active nightlife. A fantastic vacation spot with an untamed natural scenery, an easy-going lifestyle and traditional communities.
THE ISLAND
Kythnos is a Greek island and municipality in the Western Cyclades between Kea and Serifos. It has a stunning resort with wild natural terrain, unusual beaches and medieval places and it is well-known for its crystal-clear waters, friendly residents, and genuineness, particularly in its picturesque major town (Hora) and its villages. The villages are notable for their tasteful construction, strollable streets, and relaxed atmosphere. It is the ideal location for leisure and relaxation. The thermal springs are ideal for a free spa treatment because they are rich in iron and sulfur and offer many therapeutic benefits. Additionally, you may find a variety of lodging options and tourist amenities in Loutra and Merihas. There are numerous beaches scattered throughout the island, and they stand out for their pristine beauty! Whether they are sand or shingle, developed or not, all beaches offer a peaceful ambiance and are excellent for swimming. The most impressive one is certainly Kolona, which is a long strip of sand, forming two sandy beaches on both sides.
