Luxury holidays in Kea

Within day-tripping distance from Athens, Aegean-swathed Kéa is your lesser-known alternative to its celebrated sister isles. Calf-carving trails wind through olive grove-lined hills and terracotta-topped villages, along craggy cliffs, or down to crescent coves, where cerulean waves conceal an underwater world of shipwrecks and teeming marine life. Days linger with a Mediterranean languor and evenings in town are ouzo-oiled, lively with locals and Athenians alike.

When to go

Balmy breezes and quiet beaches make late spring and early autumn all the more appealing.

Getting there

  • Planes

    Athens International Airport is a 30-minute drive from Lavrio port. From here, take a one-hour ferry to Kéa, or private boats can zip you to the island in half the time.

  • Automobiles

    A car will allow you to explore Kéa’s ancient cities and secluded beaches at your own pace. If you picked up a set of wheels in Athens, you can bring it across to Kéa on certain public ferries; rentals are also available once you reach the island.
