KYTHNOS ISLAND, GREECE
7
Kythnos has remained under the radar for many years! With so much unknown beauty, authentic Cycladic spirit and only a stone’s throw ferry ride from Athens, it was not to be expected that this island would remain a hidden treasure. The lacy beaches, the picturesque Chora and the thermal baths will turn your compass here if you are looking for a low-key holiday island.
The most accessible, off the beaten path island
As we set sail along the azure waters of the Aegean Sea, get ready to be whisked away by the breathtaking scenery and unspoiled natural beauty of Kythnos’ beaches. With our expert knowledge of the area, we’ll take you on a journey to discover hidden coves and secluded bays that are only accessible by boat. With over 70 beaches to explore, Kythnos offers an unparalleled cruising experience for beach lovers. As you glide along the crystal-clear waters, take in the majestic rock formations and lush green hillsides that make up Kythnos’ rugged coastline. Relax and soak up the sun as we anchor in the sheltered bay of Kolona Beach, where a narrow strip of sand connects two secluded bays, creating a dreamlike landscape that seems almost too perfect to be real. You can take a refreshing swim in the crystal-clear waters or simply lounge on the pristine white sand beach.
If you’re looking for something a bit livelier, head to the vibrant beach of Loutra, where you can take a dip in the island’s natural hot springs or indulge in some fresh seafood at one of the many beachside tavernas. No matter what your cruising style is, Kythnos’ beaches offer a paradise that will leave you mesmerized.

The Charter Fee is a mandatory expense that usually covers the boat’s final cleaning, fees for the boat’s home port, and the cost of providing linen and towels. The specific amount and breakdown of the Charter Fee can vary based on the type of boat and the itinerary.
The expenses for marina fees and fuel are subject to change based on the type, duration, and location of your sailing trip. Marina fees are charged for each overnight stay, and the amount can vary. You may be able to obtain this information ahead of time by reaching out to the marinas directly. Fuel costs depend on whether you’re operating a motorboat or sailboat and can be approximated by considering the engine of your chosen boat and the projected distance you plan to sail.
Chartering a boat, like renting a car, necessitates a security deposit. The amount of the security deposit is determined by the make and model of the boat and can vary. Following a thorough inspection to ensure that the boat is undamaged, the deposit will be refunded to you.

The key for sailing charters is simplicity and a minimum of unneeded extras. Casual and breezy beach attire is certainly the order of the day on deck, though for evenings ashore, slacks or a sundress are more appropriate.
Rubber soled shoes as opposed to hard soles are recommended aboard our vessels, so bring boat shoes or tennis shoes. Above all, protection from the sun is vital – lots of suntan lotion, wide-brimmed hats or sailing caps, sunglasses, a towel, loose-fitting cotton cover-ups and your cellphone/camera. Early or late in the season, a light windproof jacket might help to warm you up when the sun starts dropping. Our vessels are fully equipped with snorkeling gear but if you have your own mask and flippers, you are welcome to bring them. Don’t forget to pack it all in soft-shell baggage for easy onboard storage.
