Let us take you on a full day journey around mysterious Kea, probably one of the last well-kept secrets in the Cyclades! 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. You will have time to explore the beautiful traditional town with red tile roofs and arched passages, shop in its picturesque old shops and try delicious yogurt or sweets at one of the traditional cafés. 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 proudly on the edge of a daunting cliff overlooking the Aegean Sea. Afterwards you will be driven to one of Keas’ serene beaches, where you can enjoy a refreshing swim or have lunch in one of the excellent seaside restaurants. Next, a stop near picturesque Vourkari reveals various monuments and sights of great archaeological significance, while it also gives an opportunity for photography lovers to take some amazing panoramic shots of the entire bay area of Vourkari, Gialiskari and Korissia.

Finally, before reaching the port, we will make a stop for local wine tasting and presentation of the oak trees at the acorn production farm, to find out how delicious cookies, pasta, and other local products are made, or you may alternatively prefer to spend some extra time by the beach, drinking cocktails and sunbathing, before taking you back to your hotel.
