One&Only Kéa Island
Kéa, Greece
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.
