General Information:
Also known as Tzia, the lovely island of Kea is located to the south of Attica in proximity to Athens. Although it is part of the Cyclades, it doesn’t really seem like the typical Cycladic island.
You won’t encounter whitewashed cubic houses and blue-domed churches in Kea; instead, its architecture involves neoclassical houses with elegant architecture, painted in earthy colors.
The island of Kea (aka Tzia) is a famous and charming Cycladic island with age-old traditions and interesting history. Its landscape will catch your attention with its green fields, high hills, vineyards, olive groves, ravines, coves and secluded beaches. Visit the largest oak forest in the Cyclades and keep an eye out for the rich bird fauna. Explore its numerous caves (Trypospilies Cave at Kalamos, Agios Timotheos Cave, and Agios Panteleimonas Cave) and the mining area at Orkou. Follow the 81 km paths and discover four ancient city-states of the island (Ioulida – Karthaia – Korissia – Poieessa).
Kea is a famous sailing destination mainly due to its proximity to Attica. Its waters are great for divers as a large number of shipwrecks reside on the sea bottom.
