Kea Holidays, 5 – 8 days

Dedicate your morning to walking the historic stone path from Ioulis to the legendary Lion of Kea, a massive 6th-century BC sculpture resting in the hills.

In the afternoon, drive or hike through the island’s unique Royal Oak forest, discovering the lush, verdant side of Kea. Conclude your day with a relaxing dinner in the traditional village of Kato Meria.

Begin your day with one of the most rewarding hikes in the Cyclades. Follow the ancient trail down to the ruins of Ancient Karthea, where you can explore the remnants of classical temples right next to a pristine twin beach.

Enjoy a refreshing swim in the crystal-clear waters before hiking back. Rest your legs in the evening with a hearty meal and local wine back in Ioulis.

Embark on a relaxing morning journey to the southwestern coast to visit Koundouros, renowned for its golden sands, restored stone windmills, and beautiful waters.

Spend the afternoon exploring the scenic bays of the area or relaxing by the sea. Later, head to the bustling marina of Vourkari to enjoy a sophisticated evening with fresh seafood and vibrant island nightlife.

Spend your final morning walking along the peaceful, family-friendly shores of Otzias bay, enjoying the natural shade of the tamarisk trees. These expansive sands and calm waters are incredibly atmospheric and tranquil.

Stroll past the quiet coastline, picking up authentic local souvenirs like Kea’s famous thyme honey or acorn flour treats before relaxing with a final frappe or Greek coffee by the port of Korissia, soaking in the island vibes one last time before your departure.
