Porta Kea Suites is a collection of 34 suites located on two floors. The owners, George and Roula, have utilised traditional materials and designs to ensure that the Cycladic influences historic to Kea are retained - the design of the hotel contributes to the beauty of the landscape around it.
The spacious suites each have a separate area for relaxing and even a small kitchenette and dining suite. The large bathrooms are beautifully finished with marble and have modern fixtures and fittings. They are air-conditioned, lovingly decorated and have terraces - so you can dine al fresco without leaving the comfort of your room.
The large swimming pool comes with its own cocktail bar and terrace, and luxurious recliners and large umbrellas for comfort and shade.

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.
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:

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.
