In search of unspoiled vistas and rugged coastlines? Barely a 30-minute speedboat ride from Athens, Keá is the nearest Cycladic island to the mainland. All the predictable descriptions apply: undiscovered, idyllic, bohemian, serene.
But unlike other Greek islands that are more craggy than lush, there’s a richness to Keá. It is likely a result of the abundant natural springs blanketing the island in vegetation, and earning Keá the nickname “Hydroussa” (water island) in ancient Greek mythology.
