The chief place on the island of Kéa is the town of Kéa (Khóra; pop. 1,700). It lies at the foot of Mt Profítis Ilías (560m/1,837ft) on the site of ancient Ioulis, of which there are some remains within the medieval Kástro (1210). Ioulis was the home of two notable poets, Simonides and his nephew Bacchylides (sixth-fifth century B.C.).
