Greek taverna. Right on the beach. No fancy shoes are needed here. Stay barefoot and watch the sunset while kids play with ducks and kittens…
Better reserve a table if you wish to be seated literally by the water!

Greek Taverna. Excellent food, ask for the fish of the day…
Choose a table on the deck by the water. Reservation is needed in advance.
Their desserts are excellent and the little café next door is part of the same family.

Right next to the beach. We came for just drinks and light appetizers. The grilled octopus was perfect and the fried feta with honey amazing.

Located in Otzias, the far northern village of Kea. The food is fresh and tasty. It is worth visiting the Kastriani Monastery nearby, with its breathtaking views !

ONE OF OUR FAVORITES! Piatsa is located in Ioulis, the main village of the island. Park your car at the free parking located at the bottom of the village and walk up.
The taverna is at the beginning of the walking route towards the “Lion” of Kea.

The beach at Otzias is in a sheltered almost round bay bordered with trees and extends about 700 meters, most of it sandy. In one part there is a shelf of rock that is fun if you snorkel. There is a small settlement on the east side of the bay and a couple tavernas. On the west side of the bay there are a few trees, and a couple benches below a small church, and people who want to get away from the crowds come here, mostly locals but often, you may have the place to yourself even when the east side of the beach is full. During the high season there are wind-surfers and paddle boats can be rented too. The bay itself was a port in classical times and the ruins of some harbor facilities can still be seen. A mile or so beyond are the actual mines in the area called Tripospilies and a few kilometers further is the monastery of Kastriani. The small restaurant called Taverna Otzias is a very nice fish restaurant and has a great selection of vegetable dishes and meat. Anna's Restaurant is just up the hill and has been very popular with the locals for years.

Koundouros is an area of many small sandy beaches.There is a cafe-bar at the first beach which is quite buzy in the summer it is difficult to drive past the cars lining the side of the road, to reach the better, less popular beaches which are further down the road. But you have a nice choice. You can go for the sun-bedded-beach-cafe-umbrella type beach or keep driving where each successive cove has fewer and fewer people.

Xyla is a beautiful beach with soft sand, small peebles, clear deep blue waters and picturesque cycladian surroundings. Usually it is not crowded offering peace and relaxation. The area is quite secluded without any facilities around, besides some permanent straw umbrellas and a few houses on the hill.
