Korissia, Kea
On the western side of the island is Agios Nikolas Bay, and deep within it lies the port of Korissia or 'Livadi' - considered to be one of the safest natural harbours in the Mediterranean.
Korissia is the port of Kea, where mainland ferries arrive and depart. Even if you're not staying here, it's the first place you'll encounter when you reach the island and is well worth a stop off. With its blue domed church sitting opposite its old lighthouse, this is a delightful little harbour where a jumble of traditional houses tumble down from the surrounding hillsides to a waterfront lined with cafes, tavernas and shops.
Korrisia makes a great base from which to explore the island as it is within easy reach of the capital town of Ioullis and the rest of Kea. However, if you are not inclined to stray too far, this lovely port also has a long, sandy and uncrowded beach that stretches as far as the headland and the charming chapel of Agios Georgos - the perfect spot to while away your days before meandering back to spend a pleasurable evening at the waterfront.
How To Get There
There is something reallly special about arriving on a Greek island by boat and this particularly applies to the island of Kea. The ferry only takes an hour and departs from the port of Lavrio on the mainland, which is an easy forty minute drive down the main highway from Athens airport.
There are plenty of direct flights to Athens from the UK and it is approximately a 3 hour journey. You can fly direct from Gatwick, Glasgow, Heathrow, Luton and Manchester. Carriers include:

Hints, Tips and Local Information
If you wish to explore the island, you need a car. (June 2010)
I would say a car is necessary. (September 2009)
Definitely hire a car, as the island is so worth exploring. (September 2009)
Go up to Iloudis to discover the three best things on the island - the archeological museum, Rolando's and the open air cinema. (July 2009)
Kea is a GREEK island - do not expect English to be readily spoken (for us this is part of the charm of the island) (September 2007)
Don't travel on unpaved roads unless you have a 4 wheel drive. (September 2007)
The Lion of Kea (Local Culture)
Kea's most popular sight is probably the Lion of kea, also called Lionidas. This is an imposing archaic sculpture of the lion that according to mythology chaesed away the nymphs of the island, causing many ravages. The story tells this lion was sent by the gods, because they were jealous of Kea's beauty.
