Best Luxury Resorts in Kythnos

Looking for the best luxury resorts in Kythnos Greece? Kythnos is in the western part of the Cyclades, and one of the most beautiful islands close to Athens. Its close distance to Athens makes Kythnos one of the most popular city-break destinations. Kythnos has some quaint villages, like Chora, the capital, Driopida and Loutra. You’ll enjoy the elegant architecture, strollable alleys, and laid-back atmosphere. Wander around and enjoy the corners embellished with flowers, whitewashed houses, traditional taverns, windmills, and fountains. Loutra is known for its thermal springs. The thermal springs have many healing properties and are perfect for a free spa treatment.

There are 99 beaches along the coast of Kythnos. The beaches stand out for their natural beauty, and all of the beaches have a relaxing ambiance and are ideal for swimming. The most impressive beach is Kolona Beach, which is a long strip of sand, forming two sandy beaches on both sides. You can see all of the Best Beaches in the Cyclades here or find out information on all of the Cyclades islands or Pinterest here.

Kythnos Weather – When to Visit

The best time to visit is Kythnos is spring and early summer (mid-Apr to mid-June) or autumn (Sept to mid-Oct). This way, you’ll avoid the summer high season, with its inflated prices, hordes of tourists and high temperatures (heat waves of 100°F are routine). Avoid August, unless you really like scorching heat, crowds, and overbooked planes, ferry boats, and hotels. In the spring, you’ll see more wildflowers than you could have imagined—and swim in a sea that’s a bit cool but still pleasant. In the autumn, you will enjoy warm days with still-warm waters. One drawback: Off-season there are fewer boats and flights to the islands, where some shops, hotels, and restaurants do not open until June and then close in October.
