Whether you look at it from above or up close, the phenomenon is impressive. Apart from that, Kythnos has other very beautiful beaches. If you prefer the quietest situations and take a relaxed and enjoyable swim in crystal clear waters then you have to go to the small sandy Martinakia. For more organized dives in crystal clear waters and fine sand, you should go to Episkopi or Apokrousi. These are also the only organized beaches of the island.
If you are now looking for absolute silence beaches you can visit the beaches of Skilou, Gaidouromantra, Simousi in the southeast and Mavrianos and Stifos in the southwest of the island. Kythnos has many options.
Whatever you choose, you’ll definitely enjoy your swim in clear waters and spread out sandy beaches.
