Join a 12 km hike into Kythnos’ medieval past, where Venetian rulers and pirate raids shaped the island’s history. Starting above Loutra, the trail offers sweeping Cycladic views before climbing to the Castle of Oria, dramatically perched on rugged cliffs. Once home to the Venetian Gozzadini family, it was a fortified seat of power, raided by Catalans and pirates. Today, only fortifications and two small churches survive. After exploring the ruins, the path winds through fruit orchards before ending at Loutra port.
