Location

To call Kea's main village of Ioulis 'unspoiled' is not entirely accurate. It is spoiled in a way. Kea was discovered by the artist Fasianos and he paved the way for an army of artists who followed him here.

Then one of Greece's many millionaires built a house on the island which of course caused all the other Greek millionaires to want one here as well. This got the attention of anyone in Athens who had money to spend on an island house only two hours away from Greece's capital. In that sense it is became like an Hydra for yuppies and middle-class Athenians who flood the island in the summer and warm weekends. Except in Hydra you can't build anymore houses and in Kea entire neighborhoods are springing up on barren pieces of property. But in Ioulis where you can only restore and people must leave their cars at the entrance of the town, life is pretty much the way it has always been. So while on other islands you have to be vigilant and prepared to jump out of the way of speeding motorcycles piloted by sunburned tourists, in this main town in the center of the island you are safe and can relax.
