This exceptionally picturesque island lies close to the south-east coast of Attica and is the closest of the Cyclades to Athens. Kea ( Tzia ) has a land mass of 131 sq. km and a coastline of 81 km. The population is about 2.000 habitants. Only 12 nautical miles from Cape Sounion, Kea is a mountainous island with small valleys and bays with sandy beaches. It is not a typical Cycladic island being very green with plenty of water and fruit bearing trees.

Due to its proximity to Athens, Kea is a popular destination to Athenians so is difficult to find accommodation on weekends unless booked well in advance.

The mountain masses, which are encountered in most of the Cyclades, are broken up by small valleys sparsely planted with vines and fruit-trees and run right down to the sea, opening out into pretty little bays. On the western side of the island is Agios Nikolaos bay, and deep within it the port of Korissia, which is considered to be one of the safest natural harbors in the Mediterranean.

Ferry-boats call at Korissia - also known as Livadi - which stands on the site of the city of Korissia.
The island's capital, Chora or Ioulia (6 km. from Korissia), has maintained its Cycladic idiom intact. Built in the shape of an amphitheatre, it presents the visitor with an impressive vista of two- storey houses and tiled roofs, steep cobbled alleyways and splendid churches with elaborately carved wooden icon screens. At the highest point of the village, on the site of the ancient acropolis, is a quarter known as Kastro which commands a breathtaking view of the nearby islands off the coast of Attica.

Not far from here is the famous 'Lion of Kea' (6th century BC), hewn out of the slate.
Archeological finds show that Kea was inhabited well before 3000 BC and preceded both Minoan
and Mycenaean cultures.


	The Archaeological Museum in Chora contains interesting finds dating from the Cycladic period. The interior of the island is dotted with miniature chapels, windmills and monasteries, including that of Kastriani, Kea's patron saint. Easilly accessible from Athens, Kea offers those who are seeking a restful holiday clean, uncrowded beaches at Pisses, Korissia,Koundouros, Otzia bay and Poles bay.Here they can enjoy delicious fresh fish at picturesque little tavernas.
