How to get to Kea and move around the island
The journey to Kea is an experience in itself a smooth transition from everyday life to absolute tranquility. The island is located very close to Athens and can be easily reached by ferry from the port of Lavrio. The trip lasts just one hour, making it an ideal choice even for short getaways.
As the ferry approaches Korissia, the port of Kea, the island’s image welcomes you: gentle hills, traditional settlements, and the endless blue of the Aegean surrounding you from all sides. From the moment you disembark, your true connection with the island’s authenticity begins.
For getting around the island, there is a municipal bus service that covers the main routes. The buses connect (the island’s capital) with the villages and beaches such as Poisses, Otzias, Korissia, and other picturesque destinations.
The routes operate on specific days of the week, aiming to serve both residents and visitors. The bus stops are carefully selected to ensure easy access to points of interest, beaches, and central spots across the island. The bus ride itself is a relaxed experience, offering beautiful views and a sense of local hospitality.
Whether you are arriving for the first time or returning once again to Kea, this journey from the sea to the inland roads prepares you for what lies ahead: carefree moments, connection with nature, and genuine Greek hospitality.
