Dryopida

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Dryopida (Greek Δρυοπίδα) is a village in Kythnos. It most likely got its name from the first residents of the island, the Dryopes. A few years ago it was nominated as a traditional settlement because of its architecture.

[edit] Population

The village now has about 800 residents (2001 census) but its population is shrinking year by year.

[edit] Museum

Dryopida is home to the Folklore Museum of Kythnos which has traditional uniforms and objects of everyday use.
