Practical

Anchor in about 4 m on mostly weed with some sand, then dive on the anchor to make sure it has bitten (kythnos.gr). Rocks lie near the shore. It is sheltered from the north but opens to the west (kythnos.net). Coconuts Beach Bar is ashore (OSM). 12knots reviewers mention good restaurants and occasional litter on the beach.
