The Greek island
of Kea
is known for many things besides the antique car rally held the
first weekend in June. It has exceptional beaches and one of the
best system of walking paths and trails of any Greek island. Kea is a
hiker's paradise with numbered routes that take you through a variety
of landcapes to remote beaches and the ruins of ancient cities. The restaurants on Kea are among the best in Greece
and the
summer features a number of cultural events, and an outdoor
movie theater with new first-run movies (usually in English)
that change every 2 days. Because of its proximity to Athens (just
2 hours by bus and ferry) Kea has always been popular with Athenians who have weekend homes here and sailboaters who make the island their first stop. But is is now being discovered by international tourists. If you are looking for an island that is close to Athens but has the feeling of an island much further away, then Kea may be the place for you.
