Kythnos Hiking Map

Scale: 1:25.000
Edition: June 2009

It is the first GIS map of Kythnos, meaning that this is the first time the island is mapped with a topographic precision in proportion to the map scale.

For the first time the island’s entire coastline is mapped. Cartography was done with a specially equipped and staffed cartographic vessel. This means that you can locate all beaches of the island, down to the tiniest cove! In fact, the special features of every single beach are recorded: whether it is sandy or pebbled, whether it features natural tree shade, water, a beach bar or organized water sports, whether the seabed in front of the beach is sandy or rocky (so that you will know where to anchor).

All of the island’s trails are depicted , with total precision, their length measured in kilometers so you can estimate the duration of your hike, and detailed descriptions of Kythnos’ 13 best trails on the back.

It indicates the boundaries of NATURA 2000 areas so that you will know which parts of the island are of special environmental interest and beauty – thus you can enjoy traveling through them, but also take care to protect them.

It features the most complete road network. The dirt road heading to the lighthouse at Kefalos cape, the dirt road south of Hora headed to Dryopida, and a multitude of detours and junctions appear on a map of the island for the first time. Moreover, it features a detailed city map with all points of interest marked.

Map of Kythnos is printed on Polyart material, making it totally waterproof and rip-proof. You can fold it and unfold it a hundred times, fold it in irregular ways, dunk it in the sea or leave it out in the rain. This map is indestructible!
