Kythnos (sometimes spelled Kithnos, locally Thermia) sits in the western Cyclades, 30 nautical miles southeast of the Athens marinas, between Kea to the north and Serifos to the south — a 99-square-kilometre island with about 1,500 year-round residents and 92 small beaches but no commercial airport, which makes it one of the quietest of the Cyclades close to Athens. The defining feature is the small north-coast village of Loutra, which holds the only active thermal hot springs in the Cyclades — two sulphur-rich springs (38°C and 52°C) flow directly into the harbour and into a small bath house built 1857 by Bavarian-era King Otto, with year-round bathers. The main ferry harbour is Merichas on the west coast. The capital Hora sits 8 kilometres inland in the central hills. Kythnos is 90 minutes from Kea by sail. Season runs May through October; meltemi peak July-August.
Kythnos is a paradise for nature enthusiasts, offering a variety of hiking trails that reveal the island's natural beauty. Traverse rugged terrains, olive groves, and stunning coastal views while exploring traditional villages, ancient ruins, and hidden coves.
