Kithnos is a harsh, rocky island with healing waters and a nice variety of things to do, lazy days by the sea and a good, but not too busy nightlife.

Even though it is practically without vegetation, the locals live off growing olives and making wine besides tourism. The island is a little bit different from the other Cycladic islands, since its architecture is quite varied, and parts of the villages are quite modernized.

Kythnos Island is a moderately popular getaway for many international tourists, especially for those who come to the island to take advantage of its medicinal springs. It is a very typical Cycladic Island, with wonderful beaches, small coves and bare hills. 

There are a few good beaches here that you can either walk or take the boat to. Episkopi and Apokroussi are very nice, but you can also stay in the harbour Merichas if you want.

Loutra ("Baths") is a small village where there are hot wells, reputed for their healing waters since antiquity.

Chora is the island's capital, and is a picturesque village in medieval style. Here, you can visit the Church of Trinity. Driopis is also a very pretty village, with typically winding streets and laid-back atmosphere. There is a small folklore museum here. In Kanala there is a small church dedicated to the Virgin Mary, with icons of healing powers.There are a couple of bars on the island, and you'll find them in Chora, Loutra and Merichas. Their atmosphere is laid-back and friendly. The younger audience usually prefer Merichas.
