Merichas is where Kythnos first says hello. A working harbor lined with tavernas, locals, and late light, it’s a place to land, linger, and start to let go.
You don’t need a plan here. Mornings begin with coffee by the water, afternoons drift into shaded lunches, and evenings are for watching ferries fade into the Aegean. There’s movement, yes—but never a rush.

Merichas doesn't ask for attention - he gets it, one quiet corner at a time, one quaint alley in each alley. Come without a plan, follow the sound of church bells or footsteps on stone and let the day unfold naturally.
Tucked along the northeastern coast, Loutra is home to Kythnos’s historic thermal waters—natural, mineral-rich springs that have soothed visitors for centuries. A quiet spot where wellness rises from the earth.
The capital of Kythnos blends whitewashed alleys, blue doors, and lively village squares into a scene that feels both timeless and lived-in. It’s a place to stroll, pause, and feel the gentle rhythm of everyday island life.
A hillside village of red-tiled roofs and winding stone paths, Driopida offers a quiet glimpse into Kythnos’s traditional soul—authentic, charming, and made for wandering slowly.
Katafyki Cave is a captivating blend of natural wonder and historical significance. Situated in the village of Dryopida, this expansive cave system features both naturally formed chambers and man-made tunnels, reflecting its past as an iron mine. Visitors can explore its illuminated pathways, adorned with unique stalactites and stalagmites.
Kolona Beach is a natural marvel—a slender sandbar that elegantly links Kythnos to the islet of Agios Loukas. With the Aegean Sea gently caressing both sides, it offers a unique dual-coastline experience. Its golden sands and crystalline waters make it one of the island's most iconic and photographed destinations.
A few nights here stay with you forever
