Introducing Kea
Kea is the most northerly island of the Cyclades and the island closest to Attica, and attracts more mainland locals than foreign visitors. It is an island that wears its many charms quietly and, between its bare hills, green valleys are filled with orchards, olive groves and almond and oak trees. The main settlements on the island are the port of Korissia, and the attractive capital, Ioulida, about 5km inland. There are several fine beaches and some excellent signposted footpaths. Local people use the name Tzia for their island.
