It consists of old buildings but also new holiday homes belonging to local residents of Kythnos.

In the village there are few rental rooms and apartments belonging to locals. All accommodations have patios overlooking the sea. The western orientation of the site provides amazing sunsets on the horizon which gets lost in the distant indistinct mountains of the Peloponnese.

At Flabouria you will find shops and cafes. But there is also Mrs Ioanna’s tavern with traditionally cooked meals made from fresh local products. Your supply of food and other necessities is best done from Dryopida which is the closest village.

The area is not commercially developed for tourism and is therefore dominated by the sounds of nature from the wind and the sea. Nature lovers who prefer a peaceful environment will surely love the Flabouria.
