Kea

Steep mountains, small fields, olive groves, vineyards, valleys, picturesque coves, exciting hiking trails and off-the-beaten-track beaches, the largest oak forest in the Cyclades and trekking trails passing through four ancient cities (Ioulis, Korissia, Poiessa and Karthaia). Kea according to mythology was the home of the Water Nymphs due to its water resources and lush vegetation.

Situated in the centre of the island, at the site of the ancient city-state by the same name, the capital of Kéa (or Tziá), Ioulis, is a charming picturesque town with ceramic-tile roofed houses, cobbled streets, arched passages, steps and squares.

Kea is one of the most visited islands for the aficionados of sailing, due to its proximity to the Attica land.

Due to different steams and winds blowing from several directions it is considered to be one of the most difficult passages in the Mediterranean Sea.

In the area of Cavo Doro there are also many more or less ancient shipwrecks. It is believed that the Greek ships were wrecked here on the way back from Troy. In Kea’s waters lies the wreck of the Britannic, sister ship to the Titanic, a favorite destination for diving enthusiasts.
