Kea is a small island in the Cyclades. A charming little paradise that is still a very genuine place to visit. There are a few taverns and cafes, and the pace is slow and comfortable. Kea is an excellent alternative for those who want to get away from the busier islands, but still don't want the total quiet. The islanders here live mainly off agriculture, stock-breeding and fishing.
On many of the beaches of Kea there are watersports and beachvolley. There are many sandy beaches on Kea, and just to mention a few, there is Otzias, Koundouros and Korissia. At Koundouros you'll find most of the watersports.
If you like fishing, you won't be alone, and there is also a mini golf course.
Nightlife - Ioulis and Koundouros seem to be the best places to go, but the two villages rather have taverns and cafes than bars and clubs.
There are some excellent local specialties to be tried out in the taverns of Ioulis, Koundouros, Korissia and Vourkari. The local sausages, pork dish "Paspala", cheese and wine are a must, as well as some of the sweets made of local honey.
Getting Around - There is a local bus which will take you to the main villages.
Getting There - Fly to Athens, and then take the ferryboat or hydrofoil over.
