    Kythnos – Dryopida and the Katafyki Caves

    ByStephanie Banks 4 May 20142 July 2022

    Today we are going to visit the village of Dryopida  Like Kea there isn’t a bus service running at this time of year so we book a taxi – or rather Katerina phones for a taxi for us.  The journey takes us up spiraling roads above Chora and then drops down again it Dryopida itself….

    On to Kythnos and a Walk to the Beach

    ByStephanie Banks 3 May 20142 July 2022

    George was still asleep when we left and so we didn’t get a chance to say goodbye. On the way to the port, we pick up some pastries from the bakery for breakfast.  The Aqua Spirit is on time and she is virtually empty.  Farewell Kea! Hello Kythnos! When we arrive at Kythnos we still…

    Kea – In Search of the Lion

    ByStephanie Banks 2 May 20142 July 2022

    George had told us that whenever a ferry is due into the port, the bus would be there to take people to the Chora. Looking at the ferry timetable and checking the schedules we could see that the Aqua Jewel was due in around 8am. We walked to the port, stopping off at a nearby…

    Kea – a Walk out to Agios Nikolaos Lighthouse and a Beautiful Sunset

    ByStephanie Banks 1 May 20142 July 2022

    What a fabulous day!  The sun is glorious and there is a slight breeze – great walking weather and what better way to discover the area. We are now able to appreciate the pretty garden of the United Europe – obviously tended to with great care by its owners. We walk to the port and…

    Arrival at Athens and Lavrio to Kea

    ByStephanie Banks 30 April 20142 July 2022

    We’re so thrilled to have 16 days for this island hopping trip and also to be here at the time of year.  I haven’t been to Greece in spring for many years but remember the abundance of beautiful flowers – heaven! This year we plan to travel from Lavrio Port to Kea and then around…

    Western Cyclades Island Hopping: 2 Weeks on Kea, Kythnos, Serifos & Sifnos

    ByStephanie Banks 29 April 201429 November 2025

    2 week itinerary. A Western Cyclades island hopping itinerary covering Kea, Kythnos, Serifos and Sifnos by ferry from Lavrio. Discover the ancient Lion of Kea, explore underground caves on Kythnos, climb to one of the Cyclades’ prettiest hilltop Choras on Serifos, and fall in love with Sifnos—an island that earns its place in anyone’s top five. These are the real Cyclades: quieter, more authentic, and blissfully free of cruise ship crowds. Best time: May-June or September-October.
