Kéa - Karthaia (Closed for Restoration)

Near the south end of the east coast of Kea are the massive terrace walls of ancient Karthaia (only accessible on foot; stout shoes recommended). On the lowest terrace are the foundations of a Doric temple of Apollo; on a 6m/20ft long block in the polygonal walls of the terrace above this can be seen an ancient inscription; and on a still higher terrace are the foundations of another temple. Higher still again are the walls of the upper town and remains of buildings.
