Kea to Ios Ferry
The ferry journey from Kea to Ios links two very different sides of the Cyclades: Kea’s quieter, rugged landscapes and Ios’s bright white villages, sandy bays and lively island spirit. Leaving Kea, also known as Tzia, feels like a gentle step away from the mainland-facing edge of the Aegean and towards the heart of the island group. Ios welcomes travellers with a hillside capital above its harbour, where narrow lanes, whitewashed chapels and sweeping sea views invite an unhurried first wander. Beyond the main village, the island is known for its beaches and open, sunlit coastline. The Kea – Ios ferry route is a memorable way to make the sea crossing part of an island-hopping holiday rather than simply the space between two destinations.
