My dear diary,

I walked in legendary stone-paved paths that led to fabulous sources. I stood in ancient Karthea and my eyes were lost in the blue of the sea and the sky. I found myself in a traditional fest, was offered red wine, danced "balo" and the melody from the bagpipes flooded my heart. I discovered splendid beaches with golden sand and cool blue waters. A lion made of stone showed me the place where the fairies swim. The nymphs invited me to the Festival of Fairy Tales where every summer story tellers from around the world give away the secret for staying a child forever.

Only a few kilometres from Athens airport "El. Venizelos" and 60 minutes from the port of Lavrio are enough in order to be charmed by the first island of the Cyclades.

Kea waits to be discovered!

For the walkers Kea is equal to paradise. Paths of a total length of 36 kilometres, 65% of which are paved, await and long to reveal the secret charms of Kea. Most lead to isolated coasts. The paths that we are going to tour were part of the road network that connected the cities-states between them. Along all the paths, wooden signs can be found that state the destination.

The participation of the inhabitants is considered to be the main factor for the success of the recycling programme, which started in the summer of 2008.Nowadays, the following materials are recycled: packaging materials (paper, glass, plastic, aluminium, metals),car batteries and lubricants, electric and electronic devices, used tires. The recycling process as well as the utilisation of organic waste , which originates from food (biocompost) may reduce the amount of rubbish that is thrown to HADA up to 80%.
