Kythnos Greece (Kithnos)

---

The island of Kythnos (Kithnos), or, as the locals call it, Thermia, lies between Kea (Tzia) and Serifos, 54 nautical miles from Pireaus. Although Kythnos is not far from Piraeus and Kea, one can find there unexpected peacefulness.

Here, too, the terrain is mainly mountainous, but the harshness of the bare earth is relieved here and there by vines or fig-trees like brushstrokes on it, while pretty little bays form indentations in its coastline.

There are steep cliffs on the northern side of the island. The small gulfs which keep the sea peaceful, the white houses, the streets and the old windmills, are some of the attractions of the island.

Beautiful beaches can be found at Meriha, Loutra (you can reach Loutra by bus from Meriha or Hora), Agios Stefanos (40' min. walk from Hora), Skylou, Kolona and Panagia Kanala. Other good beaches for swimming can be found at Episkopi and Flambouria bay (accessible only by boat).

Kythnos also has a great nightlife scene, you can find taverns, discos, pubs, clubs and bars at Mericha and taverns, bars and pubs at Loutra and Chora.
