Don't miss: Museums guide (free admission dates and other useful info)

The Byzantine and Ecclesiastical Museum of Kythnos is housed in the whitewashed church of Agios Georgios (Saint George), in the village of Driopida. The church is in good condition and is distinguished by its flat blue roof.

The museum hosts a large collection of 150 Byzantine and post-Byzantine icons, about 90 ecclesiastical books and other items, like Orthodox crosses, priest clothes, and manuscripts. Some icons and books are quite rare, made in the 18th century by monks of Mount Athos.
