It Rained Once!!
In a nutshell
Lying naked on isolated rocks with my girlfriend &2 greek girls
johngayton Says: Between the twin harbours of Korissia and Voukari is a cafe/bar called Kews atop the hillock and is an ideal place to catch the sun setting over the bay's inlet.The cafe comprises a series of stone terraces providing both intimate and communal areas whether just for a beer...
johngayton Says: First port of call from the mainland, sunshine thios morning (hmm..."thios" - getting definitely Greek with my spelling!!) and then torrential rain, almost Devon-like but slightly warmer, tho' a good degree of the horizontal - home from home!!The wind blew, a meal was eaten,...
vago1 Says: The island's capital, Hora or Ioulida ( 6 km from Korissia ), has maintained its Cycladic idiom intact. Built in the shape of an amphitheatre, it presents the visitor with an impressive vista of two-storey houses and tiled roofs, steep cobbled alleyways and splendid churches...
mardaska Says: Our meeting point was the marina of Lavrio. Nikolas (MITNIC) was waiting for the rest of us there...Our skipper came and......here we are on the sailing boat "Atlantis". A unique VT weekend meeting was ready to start....
mardaska Says: Tzina (Aggeliki) was jealous, so Chris (the skipper) let her try....She was really good...Born to be a sailor! as Chris said.Meanwhile Nikolas was enjoying the fresh air....
Irine_29 Says: ....while women were at home, cooking spaghetti with beef in tomato sauce. Some sweeping too and ....some chat by the way....;-)
kafeneio (local coffee shop for the older)
Irine_29 Says: It was Sunday morning when we visited the capital of the island, Ioulida. Men were at kafeneio, drinking coffee or Ouzo, playing cards and talking about politics, while women.....
johngayton Says: This was the first island we visited on our sailing towards Santorini as part of Euromeet 2007. Having chartered a trio of boats, along with their skippers, and with Janet and Gala as our organisers, local knowledge meant we could just go with the flow, especially when it...
Apothiki: Defeated By A Squid!!
johngayton Says: From where our boats were docked here at Korissia (having been denied entry to the "posh" harbour at Voukari - HA! I knew I shouldn't have come on deck at that precise moment in time!!) Apothiki, with its blue-chaired terrace, was less than an umbrella's unfurling away. No...
LoriPori Says: A few of us were in the mood for a cold drink, so we stopped at KOPNOOO'S along the harbourfront for some Frappe's ( 3 Euros ). It's basically an ice cold coffee. They were quiet delicious actually. And it was fun to all sit together and chat and watch all the hustle bustle...
Helpfulness
In older times, in the country side, where women had no idea of how it is entering a "Sephora", they invented a mumber of tricks to impove their feminime charm.
One of those, was that when they were to go out to a social even or to the church, they holded a skein of a flower. Usually it was basil, carnation, or any other flower with pleasant fragrance.

LoriPori Says: Most of the group at one time or another on Monday, took a taxi up the road, to the town of OTZIAS which is 5 km northwest of Korissia and in the northern part of Kea. And ideal town to walk, you pass some very old buildings, some long ago abandoned and make your way up many...
Lion Lying in it's Ancient Bed
janetanne Says: One of the most famous sites on Kea is the stone sculpture of the smiling lion, attributed to the archetect of the Acropolis in Athens. This stone lion has been lying in this same spot since before 600+BC! I wonder how many visitor have sat on his stoic side? I wonder why...
vago1 Says: There is a large lion with face like a cat carved out of a rock. The statue is located east of Chora and is 6m/20ft long. It was created in 600 b.B. in a time were a few monuments were created. There are a lot of myths related to this Lion.
Irine_29 Says: That day, an old man passed away, and we happened to be nearby while he was carried to the church for the funeral. Do u notice the priest dressed in white?This is the only time u can see that, when in funeral.Ody enough, for the Greek Orthodox religion, the day of death, is...

When the sea is not hmmm....very horizontial, for some there is a problem. For others there is not! For more tips on the issue, ask Marianna and Vassiliki ;-)
Updated Oct 11, 2003
johngayton Says: If you need internet access here, there is a little billiards/internet cafe just off the beach end of the harbour on a side street just up from the supermarket.Computers weren't perhaps as hi-tech as some but were fast enough to pick up emails etc. Note tho' that the place...
THE ANCIENT LION OF KEA ISLAND
LoriPori Says: When we took a taxi up to the village of Otzias, Hans and I, along with Carmen, Stace and Sandra followed a trail past the town and past the cemetery and came upon the ANCIENT LION . It was sculpted in 600 AD of local stone. It is remarkably well preserved for being so old.
