Kythnos has three major cities, each of them with its own kind of charm. The capital, for example, Hora, is a beautiful mix of red roofs and Cycladic cube-shaped houses. It's not as ravishing as other Cycladic capitals, but it struggles to get there. Dryopida has red-tiled roofs as well, along with winding streets.
