Dreaming in blue is all we can remember from our trip to Kea, a not so small island of Kikladhes, in the Aegean Sea. We bruised our legs, ate ice cream, blew some bubbles and had the best time in a while! Follow us around the island and stay tuned for more!

An island with such great history as Kea could not but be full of disperse monuments in land and sea.

Our holiday in Kea, Greece
Kea, or Tzia, is a Greek island in the Aegean Sea’s Cyclades archipelago, characterized by hilly countryside and quiet beaches.
We visited in September 2017, and visited much of the island and it's many beaches including also the ruins of Ancient Karthea.
In the island’s capital, Ioulida or Ioulis, the Archaeological Museum of Kea houses locally excavated artefacts. The waters around Kea are home to several shipwrecks, including the Titanic’s sister ship, the Britannic in 1916.

Στην παραλία του Οτζιά στην Κέα θα βρείτε αλμυρίκια για την τόσο απαραίτητα σκιά, αλλά και ξαπλώστρες με ομπρέλες για όσους το προτιμούν, ενώ υπάρχουν και παγκάκια για όσους θέλουν να κάθονται...
View of Ioulida or Ioulis, on Kea island in Greece
View of Ioulida (old inland capital of Kea, Greece -- also known as Ioulis) from the road on Tuesday 29 June, 2010.
Ioulida is a lovely, authentically Greek town. No cars are allowed in the town, so you must park outside and walk up. I stopped in for lunch at Rolando's and had a relaxing pasta dish. Located at the top of the main platia, Rolando and his wife Krissa serve specialties from the island and from the island of Corfu, where he comes from.
Ioulida is famous for its lion monument (6th century BC) which is located beyond the town (good little hike). The houses of Ioulida are picturesque with flowers, vines and bright colours everywhere. The end of June sun was very hot, but Ioulida catches a lovely breeze due to its lofty heights.
I was excited at the start of my extended Greek holiday and to have obtained a rental car -- total freedom! Kea is a popular island with local Athenians for weekend breaks. I got there via the port of Lavrio. The boat ride took about an hour.
