Like in most Greek islands, Kythnos has villages and small settlements scattered around its terrain. Some have permanent inhabitants while others return only during the tourist season, offering hotels, apartments and rooms as holiday accommodation. Typically speaking, a village has a population of 50 up to 2000 inhabitants. In Kythnos, however, settlements of less than 50 people are still mentioned as villages in many tourist maps. The main reason for this is that during the holiday season, their population multiplies considerably.
