Sea, sun, and sustainable surprises in Kythnos

Live like a local and discover Kythnos, an untouched natural beauty in the beating heart of the Cyclades. On the island you’ll find plenty of sun, sea, and 65 stunning sandy beaches, but there are also plenty of surprises along the way.
Meander along the island’s trails that take you past more than 45 types of flora including delicate orchids that dot the countryside. What you won’t see here is lots of people, with the southern part of the island being practically uninhabited.
Filled with mystery and intrigue, Kythnos’s landscape is home to ancient settlements and uninterrupted ocean views. Wander along the headland and you’ll walk past an excavation site of a 2,500-year-old ancient city and the ruins of an intriguing Byzantine castle.
Locals welcome visitors to the community to share their Cycladic way of life – opening the doors to traditional tavernas and providing comfortable family-fun accommodation for a longer stay. Local love for the land and sea results in exceptional home-grown agricultural products like thyme honey and fresh fish caught just off-shore.
Head out on a hike to explore some of the 350 charming white chapels, crumbling castles, or one of Greece’s largest caves. Visit this lesser-known island and you’ll soon end up loving it like a local too – explore with Exodus on a seven day walking holiday with Headwater, taking in the sights, smells, and sounds of the Cyclades.
