The popular weekend retreat.............
Due to its proximity to Athens, Kea (sometimes called Tzia), is popular with the capital's residents for a weekend break. This makes booking accommodation in advance necessary. It is easy to see why - steep mountains, olive groves, valleys, picturesque coves and great beaches are all in abundance on this island.
Ioulis, the capital of the island, is an attractive town with ceramic roof tiled houses, cobbled streets, steps and squares.
An interesting fact about Kea, is that the sister ship to the Titanic, the Britannic, lies off the coast of Kea and is a popular diving spot. The ship sank in 1916 and is the largest passenger ship lying on the sea floor.
Despite all of these attractions, Kea doesn't have an organised tourist industry. Why you may ask? The ferry connection is from Lavrion, which is not the easiest of ports to get to from anywhere in Athens.
However, make the effort and you will be rewarded with an island that doesn't need fancy bars or cafe's, an island that does not have blaring music as you try to relax on the beach - no, Kea will give you peace and relaxation in the old fashioned way - the sound of the waves and a good coffee!
Please be aware that due to ferry and flight timings, a stay overnight in Athens may be required in either direction.

Happy People
The team have booked three very different holidays for me, two for a couple and one for a group of nine. They listened to our requirements and used their expert knowledge of Greece to provide us with several options from which to choose. I found them to be very professional, nothing is too much trouble and they strive to find a good deal. I would not hesitate to recommend them. The business has booked me a few different holidays ranging from 2 weeks away in the sun to City Breaks. They have a great knowledge and understanding of your needs and requirements when booking a holiday. They always try to accommodate your budget and work extremely hard to get you what you're asking for. They have an extremely good knowledge of the Greek Islands and never fail when recommending specific places. I would always recommend the team as they are helpful and professional at all times. |
Fantastic service. I explained what kind of holiday I was looking for and my budget and they came up with different options to choose from. Nothing was too much trouble and the communication was first class. I would definitely recommend and would not hesitate in using this 5 star service again.
