Quiet and traditional. Like going to the most remote island
in the Aegean, but it's close to Athens. The ferry leaves from
Lavrion, an hour plus bus ride and is best known for being used
as a stand-in for war-torn Sarajevo when it was too dangerous to
film there. Lavrion has come a long way since Theo Angelopoulos
made Ulysses Gaze and the city is actually getting attractive.
But because the ferries to Kea don't leave from Pireaus it is
overlooked despite being one of the Cyclades islands. Kea itself
is not quite ready for prime-time international tourism but it
is a very interesting and beautiful island with a long history
and is very popular with Athenians, many who have summer houses
here or come for weekends. The village of Ioulis is a fantastic
labarynth of white cycladic houses perched on the side of a
mountain, with a small main square. Nice beaches and many of
them are off the road and reached by hikes through beautiful
settings. |

Because it is an island popular with Greeks there are lots of good
restaurants including the famous Rolando's in Ioulida, known for his
fresh fish. Few connections to the rest of the Cyclades though several
times a week there is a ferry to Kythnos and Syros where you can make
other connections.
There are other lines leaving from Lavrion to various islands. Anyway if
you take the ferry and a taxi you can be in Pireaus in about two and a
half hours and go just about anywhere. Most foreigners come here by
sailboat and stay in the small harbor of Vourkari which has a row of
fish tavernas, the best of which is Thalia's Ouzerie. Kea is known for
its extensive ancient road network which is still largely intact making
it a paradise for hikers.
