Kolona is one of those places that doesn’t feel real until you arrive. A golden sandbar stretches across the sea, linking Kythnos to the tiny islet of Agios Loukas and creating a rare double-coastline—a beach with calm waters on both sides.
Accessible by boat or rugged drive, Kolona rewards the effort with a setting that feels cinematic. It’s one of the island’s most iconic spots—and one of the most photographed for good reason. Bring shade, water, and enough time to stay longer than planned.
