Although it is typically a Cycladic island, Kea has a different landscape and different architecture than its Cycladic counterparts. Ιt is characterized by earthy tones and elegant architecture!
Sparkling white beaches, crystalline water, and the majestic sun, Kea lives up to all and promises to suit everyone’s taste and leisure.

Kea is an island for water sports lovers as well. It has a long tradition of classic sailing, but the visitor can also engage in water skiing, wakeboarding, surfing, wake surfing, windsurfing, kitesurfing, jet-skiing, SUP, scuba diving, and all other kinds of water activities.
