Kythnos - Terse beauty
- Details
- Wednesday, 28 August 2019
A Cyclades island of unique aesthetic, in a distance of just one and a half hour from Lavrio, Attica. It is offering a simple beauty and images of soft curves, without any tall mountain; just hills of serene outlines. A calm and terse place, carefree and least complicated, ideal for an honest relaxation. A friend of our page from Thessaloniki, Anastasia Mytileka, was charmed by Kythnos and provided us with some of the photos she captured from it the previous days. Using simple photographic means, she made us a partaker of the island’s magic. We thank her and we congratulate her for her photographic skill.
