In spite of being the second closest Cycladic island to Athens, Kythnos remains one of the least developed. The island has little tourist infrastructure; its particular qualities are its unpretentious and traditional island life and its beautiful and panoramic landscape. A special treat are the many fine 17th-century icons in its churches. This is a chapter from Blue Guide Greece the Aegean Islands: what to see, where to stay and eat, history, archaeology, art, culture, leisure. With superb, award-winning maps. Written and edited by a team of three experts: historian, art historian and archaeologist, two of whom lead cultural tours in Greece. "Blue Guides still hold the cultural high ground" Sunday Times. |
