Villa Thermia, Kythnos
History
Kythnos is a small Cycladic island with a circumference of 36 miles, an area of 99 square kilometers and about 1,500 people living in Chora, Dryopida, Loutra, Kanala and in Mericha. It is named after Kythnos, the mythical son of Apollo and leader of Dryopes who arrived in Kythnos from Evia in 14th century BC. Archaeological findings reveal the long history and strong presence of inhabitants on the island for centuries. Kythnos has many archaeological “treasures” that indicate the prosperity of the island during the ancient times, such as remains of walls and many temples dedicated to the ancient gods: Aphrodite, Apollo and Demeter. There are also several remains of castles and towers from the classical times.
Local cuisine and products
During your stay in Kythnos do not miss to taste or buy the traditional products of the island, which stand out both for their fine taste and excellent quality. Try the cheese and the wine of Kythnos, well known in antiquity for their quality and taste. Also, ask for the local pork, the marinated sun-dried fish, the chops and the strapatsada with squash. Do not miss to taste the products of local cottage industry, such as sausages, nuts, white cheese, kopanisti, capers, sesame, the local pies and the thyme honey considered to be one of the best in the world.
Traditional wedding
If you ever happen to be in Kythnos and there is a wedding ceremony … do not miss it, especially if in Chora or Dryopida. Every wedding is a very special happy event for all local people, the relatives and the visitors. Everyone helps in the preparations while having a great time, giving their best wishes to the new couple. In a traditional wedding an invitation is totally unnecessary since everyone is welcome!
The festivals in Kythnos (Panigiria)
Every “festival” (in Greek ‘panigiri’) is a major event in Kythnos. During them the local people take the opportunity not only to exercise their religious duties but also to have fun. The festival begins in the evening of the previous day, and continues during the whole night until the next day. If you participate in a festival you will experience one of the most authentic events of the Aegean islands. You will taste local dishes and you will hear traditional island music played by local musicians while Thermiotes will dance the famous island dance, called balos. You will hardly resist the temptation of dancing with them.
