Tour of Kythnos IslandΜαρτίου 9th, 2009 by admin
Kythnos is the first island of the West Cyclades. It is a beautiful island with many natural beauties, magic beaches, picturesque villages built according to the traditional architecture and friendly hospitable inhabitants. KYTHNOS (or Chora), also called Messaria by the locals, is 8 kilometers from the harbor. An asphalt road, 4,5 kilometers long connects Chora with the coastal settlement of LOUTRA to the north, where there are mineral springs. Here there is a hydrotherapeutic building with individual baths in the Xenia hotel, run by the Greek Tourist Organization. In the region you will find hotel units, rooms to let of all categories, taverns, coffee shops, bar and clubs for your nightlife. South-west of Chora is the harbor of MERICHAS with a graphic small settlement around it. Merichas’s gulf still remains beautiful with thin sand and crystal clear waters, appropriate for fishing and even swimming. Merichas has big tourist development: here you will find hotels, rooms to let, many scenic taverns serving fresh fish and local recipes, coffee shops, and bars. The beautiful beach EPISKOPI is a short distance to the north and at VRIOKASTRO (or Ovriokastro), further north still, are the remains of the ancient city of Kythnos. The head village of DRYOPIDA is in the interior of the island. Here you will see two-storey houses with tiled roofs, something unusual for an island of Cyclades. One of the most important features of Dryopida is the Katafiki Cave, one of the biggest unexploited caves in Greece with stalactites & stalagmites. On the village you can visit the Folklore Museum & the small Byzantine Museum which is housed in Ai-Giorgis church. It is worth to visit the church of Agios Minas which has a fine wooden temple. On a hill with a superb view over the Aegean, 16 kilometers south-east of Chora, is the monastery of the Panagia Kanala, the patron saint of the island. Not far away from Driopida there is a road that leads to an amplitude of lovely beaches located in the eastern side, like Kalo Livadi, Liotrivi, Lefkes, Zogaki, Naousa, Kouri, Agios Stefanos a protected beach with sand and pebbles, Ai-Giannis & Vasilika. In some of these places you can also find rooms to let and traditional taverns. At the south part of the island is Agios Dimitrios a picturesque village with a beautiful beach. TRADITION – EVENTS Among the most important events are considered the festivals that take place in honor of Holly Mary on 15th August (Panagia of Nikous, Panagia Kanala, Panagia Stratolatissa) & on 8th September (Panagia Flanbouriani) as well as “Kythnia” which are organized every summer by the municipality of Kythnos. LOCAL PRODUCTS – CUISINE The most famous products of the island are the cheeses and the local wine of fine quality.
