Kea, also known as Tzia, is the closest Cycladic island to Athens and one of the Aegean's best-kept secrets. Its coastline boasts a diverse range of beaches — from the wide sandy shores of Otzias and the cosmopolitan cove of Koundouros to secluded bays framed by lush oak forests unique to the Aegean. The sea is calm, crystal-clear, and turquoise, with shallow waters ideal for families with children. Kea is perfect for Athenians seeking a quick yet authentic escape, couples craving tranquility, and nature lovers eager to explore unspoiled scenery far from the crowds of the more commercial Greek islands.
