A weekend of quietude by the sea – if Athens becomes too mainstream, then head to Kea for the weekend, and you will be smitten. This beautiful weekend getaway is a Greek island, located in the Cyclades archipelago, in the Aegean Sea. What you have here is absolute serenity, and interesting to history aficionados, because supposedly, it was the site of a Bronze Age settlement. You have a chance of catching some of the beaches desolate, so it is an absolute treat. The location is perfect for couples and families, also for anyone who just wants to relax. Here at Kea, you must visit the ancient ruins of the Doris temples, and the Karthea’s theatre. While in Kea, do not forget to indulge in Greek cuisine. Kea is also a great spot for those looking to partake in scuba diving as it has a rich marine life.
