Chief place: Kéa (Khóra)
Kéa, the most westerly of the larger Cyclades, lies some 20km/12.5mi southeast of Cape Soúnion. The island's agriculture and the traditional harvesting of acorns for use in tanning have declined as a result of emigration. There is a certain amount of tourist traffic from mainland Greece.
Originally settled by Dryopians from Euboea, and later by Ionians, the island was known in antiquity as Keos. It was a "tetrapolis" of four cities - Ioulis, Karthaia, Koressia and Poiessa.
