The Church of Panagia Flambouriani stands in the village of Flambouria, south-west of the town of Kithnos. According to tradition, there are traces from the steps of the Virgin all the way from the beach to the church. In summer, lilies in bloom in the
area give off their sweet smell.
The beautiful post-Byzantine church of Agia Triada is situated in Kithnos (Hora). Built in basilica with a dome style, Agia Triada is the oldest church on the island. It took its present shape after a series of restorations and continuous changes, and it hardly reminds one of the first church. In the interior, remarkable frescoes are well preserved, as well as icons of the post-Byzantine period. Ancient sculptures and inscriptions have been found in the area around the church.
The monastery of Panagia Kanala stands in a lovely area, 16 km south-east of Kithnos, near the village of Kanala. Inside it, one can admire the miraculous icon of the Virgin. It is supposed to have been found in the area of Kanali and, according to tradition, is a work of Luke the Evangelist. According to the scholars, however, it is the work of the folk artist, Antonis Skordilis and dates, back to the 15th century. On its feast days, on the 15th of August and 8th of September, big festivals are held, attracting pilgrims from all over the island.
The monastery of Panagia Nikous dominates over Hora. From all its constructions, only its three-aisled basilica church with the two domes still stands. During the Turkish domination, a "secret school" was functioning in the monastery's basement.
