ONLINE VACATION
KEA (KEOS), GREECE
1/26/14
Hi Everyone. We are taking a trip to an island of Greece. We are going
to Kea, who was also known as Keos, Greece.
Kea is also known as Gia or Tzia, Zea, and, in antiquity, Keos. It is a
Greek island in the Cyclades archipelago in the Aegean Sea. Kea is
part of the Kea-Kythnos regional unit.
Its capital, Ioulis, is inland at a high altitude (like most ancient
Cycladic settlements, for fear of pirates) and is considered quite
picturesque. Other major villages of Kea are the port of Korissia and
the fishing village of Vourkari.
After suffering depopulation for many decades, Kea has been recently
rediscovered by Athens as a convenient destination for weekends and
yachting trips. The population in 2011 was 2,455.
Its climate is arid, and its terrain is hilly. Kea is 12 miles long from
north to south and 6 miles wide from west to east. The highest point
is 1,837 feet above sea level.
January is normally the coldest month with average temperatures between
45 and 57 degrees Fahrenheit. July and August are normally the
warmest months with average temperatures between 73 and 89 degrees F.
December tends to be the rainiest month with an average of 2.5 inches,
and a yearly average of 14.4 inches of rain. There doesn't seem to be
a measurable snowfall. The record low temperature is 25 degrees F.
and the record high temperature is 108 degrees F.
I hope you enjoy this trip to Kea (Keos), Greece.
