Review & FAQ:

One of the less-visited islands of the Cyclades, Kythnos attracts more Greek visitors than foreign tourists, even though it is a popular anchorage for flotilla holidays. Locally known as Thermia because of its thermal springs, the island features dramatic, rugged landscapes and over 65 beautiful white sandy beaches, and the sparsity of visitors makes it an ideal location for walkers. The island’s bare Cycladic hills are crisscrossed low stone fences, quaint villages with narrow cobbled streets, whitewashed houses with blue doors, ancient windmills, and over 350 white country chapels. Kýthnos is also home to one of the biggest caves in Greece, Katafýki cave, which is full of beautiful stalactites and stalagmites.
