Description
Villa Kythnos is a luxury six-bedroom holiday villa on the unspoiled Cycladic island of Kythnos, offering panoramic Aegean Sea views, a private saltwater infinity pool, and direct access to a quiet beach just steps away. Set on one acre of secluded hillside, the property includes a main house and a separate guesthouse, accommodating up to 12 guests with stylish Cycladic architecture, modern amenities, and spacious outdoor living areas. Recently renovated, it features comfortable living spaces, fully equipped kitchens, shaded dining with BBQ, and a charming whitewashed chapel. Ideal for family holidays, group getaways, or peaceful seaside escapes, Villa Kythnos combines privacy, comfort, and breathtaking views for an unforgettable Greek island retreat.
Discover Kythnos – An Authentic Cycladic Gem
Nestled in the heart of the Western Cyclades, between the islands of Kea and Serifos, Kythnos is one of Greece’s most enchanting yet understated destinations. Also known as Thermia, due to its natural thermal springs, the island offers a rare combination of unspoiled beauty, rich cultural heritage, and easy accessibility—just 1 hour and 45 minutes by ferry from Lavrion port, or 3 hours from Piraeus. Conveniently, Lavrion lies a short 25 km drive from Athens International Airport.
With a land area of roughly 100 square kilometers and a coastline stretching over 100 km, Kythnos is dotted with 92 beaches, coves, and inlets, many of which are reachable by car. From the famous Kolona Beach, where a narrow sandbar forms a stunning double shoreline, to Apokrousi, the island’s largest beach, and Kanala, known for its golden sands framed by pine trees, the coastline is a paradise for swimmers, sunseekers, and those in search of peace.
Villages & Way of Life
Kythnos is home to several traditional settlements, each with its own charm:
Chora (the island’s capital): A classic Cycladic village of whitewashed houses, labyrinthine alleys, charming squares, and centuries-old churches.
Dryopida (locally known as Chorio): Renowned for its unique tiled rooftops, stone homes, small windmills, and the impressive Katafyki Cave—one of Greece’s largest and most historically significant caves.
Merichas: The island’s main port, located on the west coast, offering ferry connections, tavernas, and seaside cafés.
Kanala: A serene seaside village on the east coast, where pine forest meets sea. It takes its name from the Panagia Kanala Church, a sacred pilgrimage site housing a miraculous icon discovered by fishermen.
Loutra: Located at the northeast tip, this marina village is famed for its natural hot springs, long known for their healing properties.
Culture, History & Experiences
Despite its proximity to Athens, Kythnos has preserved its authentic character. The island is steeped in history, from ancient temples dedicated to Aphrodite, Apollo, and Demeter, to the walled city of Vryokastro, the ancient harbor of Mandraki, and the Castle of Oria. Cultural highlights include:
Byzantine Museum
Museum of Local Art
Agricultural Museum
Katafyki Cave – a geological and historical wonder
Throughout July and August, the island comes alive with religious festivals and cultural celebrations, reviving old customs through music, dance, and local cuisine.
The Kythnos Lifestyle
Kythnos strikes a delicate balance—cosmopolitan yet traditional, lively yet peaceful. Its charm lies in its simplicity: the warm hospitality of its people, the timeless rhythms of island life, the artistry in its architecture, and a culinary scene rooted in local ingredients and recipes. Whether you’re drawn to water sports, hiking trails, cultural excursions, or simply relaxing under the Aegean sun, Kythnos delivers a complete, immersive Greek experience.
