Although it’s the closest island to the Greek mainland, Kea often gets overlooked for the more popular Cyclades islands like Mykonos and Santorini. Nevertheless, it has its own merits. Upon arriving from Athens, you’ll find a church to the Virgin Mary built into a cave, ancient mule paths full of monuments, a neoclassical town hall, and the ruins of a medieval castle. Kea is full of fascinating historic sites to explore, including numerous shipwrecks just off the coast like the HMHS Britannic.

About 41 nautical miles from Kea, you’ll dock at Ermoupoli, Syros, which is home to the capital of the Cyclades. Vibrant with arts and culture, galleries and museums are found all around the main port, one of which showcases local, modern art in an old warehouse. Most of the action happens near the port and Miaouli Square, where you can dine al fresco before seeing live theatre or dance at the Italian-style Apollon Theater.
A feast for the eyes, Mykonos charms with its 16th-century windmills and blue-shuttered houses. As it so happens, the island also plays host to some of the best restaurants and nightlife in the Greek islands. Indulge in local delicacies and cocktails at restaurants like Nammos or Scorpios—sandwiched between lively, beach resorts. Nights belong to Cavo Paradiso, a two-story, waterfront dance club with an outdoor swimming pool that attracts DJs from all over the world.
