Below, you will discover more information about the best locations for your hotel in Kythnos.
CHORA
Our recommendation:
• Chora Kythnos Suites
Chora is the capital of Kythnos and the centre of life on the island. It is located on the the slopes of a hill, 7 kilometers from the port.
It has beautiful Cycladic architecture, featuring whitewashed houses and narrow paved alleys. Many restaurants, local taverns, and bars are situated there.
Most hotels are found on the old quarter or are new structures that are built in the surrounding area.
Discover Chora
MERICHAS
Our recommendation:
• Kontseta
Merichas is the port of Kythnos. It is a quaint settlement built amphitheatrically around the cove and has many shops, hotels, and restaurants. There is a beach and a marina with boats that you can rent and discover the surrounding beaches. Also, water taxis to Kolona start from this point. The beaches of Martinakia, Episkopi, and Apokrousi are also very close.
Generally, it is a convenient place to stay if you are traveling without a car in Kythnos since you can take the bus and remain close to popular attractions. It is also preferred by young people, as it is the place with the liveliest nightlife.
Discover Merichas
LOUTRA
Our recommendation:
• Porto Klaras
Staying in Loutra is one of the most popular options on the island. This village is located in the northeastern part of the island, 12 km from the port and 5 km from Chora.
The village was one of the first to develop touristically due to its thermal springs. There is an indoor spring that remains closed and an outdoor spring that is accessible to the public.
The settlement of Loutra has a sandy beach, a popular marina where sailing boats and yachts anchor, and some fish taverns and hotels. Also, the picturesque beach of Agia Irini is less than 2 km away.

GENERAL INFORMATION
Kythnos is one of the closest Cycladic islands to Athens, making it the choice of many for either weekend getaways or extended holidays. Its proximity to the Greek capital along with its fantastic beaches, points of interest, picturesque villages and general laid-back atmosphere are becoming known to more and more people, so the island has gained many fans!
Some of the most interesting places on the island are Katafiki Cave, one of the largest caves in Greece with stalagmites and stalactites, the castle of Oria and the archaeological site of Vryokastro. Also, Panagia Kanala is the most important church and the patron saint of Kythnos, with a big festival taking place there on August 15th. The most famous beach in Kythnos is Kolona, which actually consists of two beaches, one on each side of the narrow strip of sand that connects the island to a small islet!
As the years go by, the options for accommodation in Kythnos increase. But what they all have in common is that they show respect for the island's profile and coexist in harmony with the environment. Therefore, do not expect to find huge, all-inclusive hotels with courts, many swimming pools, and other such facilities.
As far as prices are concerned, the island is not considered expensive. Of course there is a range of prices depending on the amenities, but there are options for all budgets. The time of visit also affects the cost, with July and August being the most expensive months due to them being the busiest.
Our advice to travelers who want to enjoy the island's beauties and activities but want to avoid spending much for a hotel is to visit it in the shoulder season. Alternatively, they can visit some of the areas of the island that are less popular among tourists, where accommodation options tend to be on the cheaper side.
