Kea (also called Tzia, ancient name Keos) is the closest Cycladic island to Athens, 20 kilometres east of the Cape Sounion peninsula and the standard 1st-day overnight stop for any Cycladic charter starting from Lavrion. The 130-square-kilometre island holds about 2,500 year-round residents and lacks a busy international airport, which makes it less crowded than larger Cyclades like Mykonos. The west-coast Korissia is the ferry port and main harbour; the more sheltered yacht moorings are 1 kilometre north at Vourkari, a fishing village with the famous Aristos and Yannis harbour-side fish tavernas. The capital Ioulis (Hora) sits in the interior hills 5 kilometres east, a fortified medieval town with a 6th-century-BC Archaic-era stone lion sculpture carved directly into a hillside outcrop on the edge of town. Kea is 30 minutes from Lavrion by sail. Season runs May through October; meltemi peak July-August.
Gialiskari Beach is one of Kea's serene and tranquil corners. Its golden sands and shallow waters create the perfect setting for families and swimming enthusiasts. Surrounded by lush greenery, the beach offers natural shade for those seeking a cool retreat throughout the day. While enjoying the clear waters, you can also savor fresh seafood at nearby tavernas.
One of Kea's most popular spots, Koundouros is known for its stunning coves and luxurious villas. The area's crystal-clear waters and wind-protected beaches make it ideal for water sports and diving enthusiasts. Blending traditional Greek architecture with modern comforts, Koundouros offers a memorable experience with its stylish restaurants and peaceful ambiance.
One of the island’s most beautiful beaches, Spathi Beach is a must-visit for adventurers and nature lovers. Surrounded by Kea's unspoiled nature, this beach captivates with its clear waters and sandy shores. Relax on a sunbed and soak in the sun or explore the vibrant underwater world through diving. Spathi’s peaceful atmosphere makes it a perfect escape for those looking to unwind away from the city.
