Located on the west coast of the island, the port of Kythnos is found in the town of Merichas. The port is comprised of crystal clear waters, yachts and fishermen dotted around the outside of the bay. Around the port area, the marina offers a range of restaurants predominantly serving seafood, taverns, bars and cafes all expecting the arrival of many visitors and tourists. The marina is one of the liveliest and most upbeat places on the island, with many passengers passing through each day. The pier has undergone a slight renovation over the years; in 2000 it was expanded to accommodate large passenger vessels that went parallel to the beach. The renovation to accommodate tourists has actually increased the amount of tourism, meaning that the marina may have to extend its parameters once more. Due to the port’s popularity, many new amenities have opened business around the area, consequently many of the permanent residents have relocated closer to the pier. Away from the port, the naturally beautiful landscapes are the main attraction of the area. Striking mountains, secluded beaches and traditional stoned houses laying on paved streets showcase why Kythnos is considered one of the most desirable out of the Greek Islands. Transport around the island is relatively limited, though it is possible to cover many of the major sights by foot. It is best advised to get a taxi to the port, however, it is worthwhile to negotiate a price before entry.
Primarily known as a ferry hub, Paros has remained under the radar among the hype of other popular Greek holiday destinations. Though its relative anonymity is quickly coming to an end; warm and welcoming rural villages surround the alluring capital city, offering visitors the chance to indulge in Greek cuisine in beautiful surroundings. The harbour still attracts the biggest crowds, especially in the spring time when the island is less busy, the weather is pleasant and the water become slightly warmer. The shoreline is constructed of unique rock formations and golden sands; Kolymbithres Beach is perhaps the most aesthetically interesting area across the coast, which provides unmatched views of the endless azure blue seas engulfing the smaller neighbouring islands. Away from the waters, myriad of historical and cultural sites are dotted about the island, providing a fascinating insight into the history of Paros. Panayia Ekatondapiliani Cathedral is typically at the top of the itinerary for most tourists, and for an extended look at the archaic architecture, head to Parikia Town which is host to many cultural landmarks.
Car and motorbike rental companies are fairly cheap throughout the year, though the prices increase in the summer months. In terms of public transport, a bus service operates frequently throughout the towns, and are generally quite affordable.
