Island Kythnos, Greece - by drone [4K].

Hello and welcome to the stunning aerial footage of the Island Kythnos part of Cyclades archipelago, 2 hours by ferry from Lavrio, Athens, Greece.

Kythnos, an island in the Western Cyclades, enchants visitors with its unspoiled charm, striking landscapes, and warm hospitality. This diamond in Aegean, easily accessible from Athens port of Lavrio, offers a perfect blend of tradition, relaxation, and natural beauty.

At the heart of Kythnos lies its beautiful Chora, a quintessential Cycladic village adorned with narrow cobblestone streets, whitewashed houses, and colorful bougainvillea. Strolling through its winding alleys, you’ll find cozy cafes, traditional tavernas, and boutique shops, making it a lively yet tranquil spot to experience authentic Greek island life.

To the north, Loutra is renowned for its therapeutic hot springs. These natural baths, known since antiquity, attract visitors seeking relaxation and wellness. The serene coastal village surrounding Loutra offers a peaceful atmosphere next to the coast of the sea. Not far from Loutra there’s one of Kythnos’s most unique attractions is the iconic Kolona Beach on the western side of the island. This striking double-sided strip of sand connects the mainland to a small islet, offering crystal-clear waters on both sides. It's an idyllic spot for swimming, sunbathing, and admiring one of the island’s most breathtaking natural formations.

Dryopida, a picturesque inland village, is a must-visit for its distinctive architecture and rolling landscapes. The village is famed for its tiled roofs, contrasting the flat designs typical of the Cyclades, and its charming atmosphere. Sometimes this place can be called as the second “Chora” of the island. 11 minutes from Dryopida there’s the port, Merichas that is a bustling gateway to Kythnos, welcoming ferries and visitors alike. This vibrant harbor offers seaside tavernas, cafes, and a charming waterfront, making it an excellent starting point for exploring the island.

Throughout Kythnos, the dry, rugged terrain creates a captivating contrast to its turquoise waters. Dotted with low shrubs, ancient terraces, and stone walls, destroyed and abandoned windmills (Cycladic landmarks), the landscape speaks of the island’s enduring history and connection to nature. Kythnos is a paradise for those seeking tranquility, stunning beaches, and authentic Greek culture. With its unique blend of natural and manmade beauty, this island promises an unforgettable escape in the heart of the Aegean.
