Kea: Cyclades’ unassuming historical niche (#2)

Kea’s turbulent political status following periodic affairs with the powers that were at the time meant that a series of watch towers needed to be built around the island as an early warning system to protect them from their enemies.

Kea: Cyclades’ unassuming historical niche (#1)

For a tiny island off Attica, Kea is rich in myth and history. 

Once upon a time, according to ancient myth, Kea was a lusciously green island called Hydrossa and was populated by beautiful mythical creatures, the water nymphs, who blessed it with its many fresh springs and fountains. 

So affluent was the island that the nymphs caused the envy of gods who punished them by sending a fierce lion that turned the island into this seemingly dry land. The faithful inhabitants appealed to the semi-god Aristaios, son of Apollo and the nymph Kyrini who rescued the island and made sure that Zeus was kept appeased by dedicating a temple to him at the highest point on the island.
