AREAS

Korissia

Korissia is the central port of Kea. It is 5km northwest of Chora in a safe cove on the site of the ancient city of the same name.

Around the port is the settlement of Korissia with much tourist development. The region has now evolved into a popular summer resort. You will find hotels and rooms to let providing you a comfortable stay. Along the coastal road and the graphic streets are many taverns, in which, among others, you can taste the local specialties.

Otzias

The protected cove of Otzias is in the north part of the island, 11km from Chora. This small settlement is ideal for walks along the narrow paths, where time has stopped still. Sit in the taverns and taste the local dishes.

The best spot in the region is the historic monastery of Panagia Kastriani, built on the steep rocks.

Mylopotamos

About 2km from Korissia, we meet the valley of Mylopotamos. Those who love walking can take the old paved street Korissia - Ioylida, which was built on the remains of an ancient street. Eleven grinding watermills have been constructed along the length of the watercourse.

Koundouros

Koundouros is a coastal settlement with a fast-developing tourist industry. It is 17km southwest of Chora. Characteristic of the area is the pure natural beauty of the scenery. The cove, also called Koundouros, has a beautiful beach and crystal waters which attract its visitors. The beach is organized and rather cosmopolitan.
