Kea (Tzia) beaches: sheltered bays a short hop from Athens
Kea's deeply indented coastline hides dozens of sandy and pebble coves. Otzias is a wide, calm horseshoe bay ideal for families, while Koundouros has a string of small organised beaches. For clear, quiet water, head to Spathi, the island's longest sandy beach, or the secluded cove of Orkos. Most are an easy drive from the port at Korissia.
