This 3.5 km hike reveals the industrial heritage of Kythnos, hidden in the hills around Dryopida. Starting at the village entrance, the path descends toward Lefkes beach, passing the abandoned mining complex of Spitares, where iron once fueled the island’s economy. You’ll also see the old village laundry, once buzzing with life. Depending on the season, fresh fruits such as figs or pomegranates can be tasted along the way. The journey ends at Lefkes beach, famous for its crystal-clear waters and golden sand.
