Take an opportunity to see the best of what this unique island has to offer: astonishing history, prominent monuments and museums, serene sandy beaches, natural oak paths discovery and delicious food served directly by the sea!
After being picked up from your hotel, we will take you to Kea’s capital, Ioulida, which is spread over three hills that offer majestic views to the Aegean sea.

We will visit the Stone Lion of Kea, the island’s landmark which lies at the edge of Ioulida and offers panoramic views of the town, stop at the Archeological Museum (optional) or visit the remains of an old Venetian Castle.
The tour continues to the idyllic monastery of Panagia Kastriani, which stands proud on the edge of a daunting cliff overlooking the Aegean Sea. Afterwards you will be driven to one of Keas’ serene beach, where you can enjoy a refreshing swim or have lunch in one of the excellent seaside restaurants.
