In brief, the island offers a local bus service that connects its five main villages. It is the cheapest way to move around, but schedules are limited.
For that reason, most people choose to move around by car.

Buses in Kythnos serve the five busiest villages, i.e. Chora (the capital town), Merichas (the port), Driopida, Loutra, and Kanala.
Even during summer, when the island receives hundreds of visitors, itineraries are not very frequent.

 

Tickets

Bus fares depend on the destination. Tickets are quite inexpensive and can be issued by the driver!

 

Frequency

Buses in Kythnos are available throughout the year, yet routes do not become much more frequent in summer as in other islands.
