Petrousa Beach, Kythnos
See practical info for Petrousa in Kythnos, including location, beach type, wind exposure, map and tips to help you decide when to visit.
A wild beach reached only on foot
Sand (with pebbles in places) and clear water with rocky edges, on the southeast coast — and, unusually for Kythnos, no natural shade. A favourite for snorkelling and spearfishing precisely because few people make the effort to reach it.
