FERRY
The trip to Kythnos is mostly by motor vehicle bearing ferry boat because there is no airport. Kythnos is an appealing destination for Greek travelers as the journey takes little time thus providing low cost on ferry tickets.
There is daily transport by sea from the ports of Lavrion and Piraeus. The services expand extraordinarily in summer due to large turnout of tourists, mainly Greeks.
