Activity Description

EXPLORE THE BEAUTIES OF KEA ISLAND IN-DEPTH, ON FOOT

Join us on this walking adventure holiday in the Cyclades. Walk on the ancient paths and trails and explore the hidden beauties of this island in the Cyclades one of the best ways to explore the unspoiled Cycladic island of Kea is by hiking. The islanders have restored many of the old trails, the old donkey paths that were used between the villages and fields, which now make excellent hiking trails. Kea has a number of beautiful unspoiled bays with pebble and sandy beaches in the east, which are also best explored by foot. The stunning bay of Karthea features two ancient temples and an amphitheater, only accessible by foot or boat where you’ll probably have the place all to yourself!.
