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.
Situated about 3km from the main village, Kimolos Port is found on the most southwestern island of the Cyclades Island group. With just under 1000 people, Kimolos is very small and is generally occupied by tourists, especially during the summer months, creating a lively atmosphere around the island. During the winter months the island is known to be particularly quiet, the only jobs available tend to be in hospitality, such as hotel concierges and restaurant staff. Considering the small size, the island still hosts a few attractions; a medieval castle, water spas and museums are all well worth a visit. The port itself is primarily used for connecting passengers to other islands of the Cyclades group, most of which are in relatively close proximity to each other. Hellenic Seaways and Zante Ferries provide the crossings, both of which are respected and reliable companies that are convenient for visitors to travel stress free. Whilst at the port, visitors can sample the local food at the café sitting right next to the ferry terminal. For travel to the port, a small bus service operates in the area, running to and from the port and travelling to popular beaches and resorts on the island.
