Apart from its close proximity, however, it is also the island that will offer you many opportunities for beautiful moments, beautiful beaches, and good food. And so, because of his close proximity, you&#8217;re probably going to spend a lot of weekends there.<strong> In these excursions, you will get to know the beautiful village that looks like a labyrinth. It&#8217;s the Dryopida<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>It is one of the most beautiful settlements of the Cyclades.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Kythnos: The village that looks like a labyrinth<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Dryopida is one of the most famous settlements of Kythnos that you should definitely visit if you are on the island. Its special feature is that it is the only village on the island that is not visible from the sea. <strong>In fact it is located in a sheltered place between two hills which in this way protect the village from the winds.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Another feature, however, that has made the village of Dryopida famous is the fact that it looks like a labyrinth.<strong> If you walk through its alleys, you&#8217;ll probably be in the same place over and over again without you knowing it.<\/strong> You will also be surprised that the buildings do not have the traditional Cycladic architecture.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23973 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/exploringgreece.tv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/%CE%94%CF%81%CF%85%CE%BF%CF%80%CE%AF%CE%B4%CE%B1_%CE%BA%CF%8D%CE%B8%CE%BD%CE%BF%CF%82.jpg\" alt=\"Kythnos: The village that looks like a labyrinth\" width=\"750\" height=\"1001\" \/> <strong>Photo Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/commons.wikimedia.org\/w\/index.php?curid=62447759\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Aggelos1357<\/a> <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>You will meet mainly two-storey buildings with tile which compose a unique image for the Cyclades.
