I last went to Kea a weekend in mid September. The Athenians who have summer houses on the island had left and the island was starting to get its winter paces. This was my second time on Kea, the first was a couple of years ago. I didn't swim, just walked around the cobbled paths of Ioulida and did some trekking till the Lion Statue. I needed some rest and I got it. Kea is one of the few islands that always makes me relax completely and forget all about my stresses.
