On this rocky mountainous island one has a chance to get away from the crowds and enjoy relaxed Greek hospitality. The island has a rich and romantic history, and the remains of the city walls in the island capital Ioulis stand a stony tribute to a turbulent past when pirates sailed the Aegean. There are many historical buildings and some ancient sites. Some of the finds are housed in an Archaeological museum.

Quiet, clean beaches can be found at Korissia and Koundouros.

The Cyclades Islands are great for sailing and Kea is no exception, the village of Vourkari offers safe mooring.
