Review:

Kea, also called Tzia, is a favorite spot wealthy Athenians due to its proximity to Athens. The island boasts rugged mountains and fertile valleys, rolling fields and olive groves, patchwork vineyards, off-the-beaten-track beaches, and picturesque coves. Home to the largest oak forest in the Cyclades, the island is ideal for bird-watching and hiking, and geologists will delight in the many small caves in Áyios Timótheos and Kálamos. Nestled in the center of the island, the picturesque capital town of Ioulis is built on the ancient city-state by the same name and features charming ceramic-tile roofed houses, winding cobbled streets, arched passages, and lovely squares. Kéa has been known since ancient times for its wine, almonds, and honey.
