Introducing Kythnos
Kythnos is more of a weekend destination for mainlanders and glossy motor cruisers. The island doesn’t attract too many foreign visitors. Yet this is a Greek island of some character, and once you escape the rather dowdy port of Merihas, the island rewards, not least in its pleasantly relaxed way of life.

The main settlements are Merihas, the capital Hora and the very traditional village of Dryopida.
There’s an Emboriki bank (with ATM) on the road above the Merihas waterfront, and an ATM just past the flight of steps as you come from the ferry quay. Antonios Larentzakis Travel Agency (22810 32104/32291) sells ferry tickets, can arrange accommodation and rents out cars and motorbikes. It’s up the flight of steps near Ostria Taverna that leads to the main road. Hora has the island’s post office and police station (22810 31201). The port police (22810 32290) are on the waterfront in Merihas.
