Vourkari (Kea) - Cyclades


Vourkari (Kea)
A mountainous island 12 miles east of Cape Sounion. The island is mostly barren. There are a few ruins from the ancient times. There is a large lion with face like a cat carved out of a rock. The statue is located east of Chora and is 6m/20ft long. Places to moor
Ag. Nikolaos - There are three places to tie the one is Ormos Livadhi which is the south arm of the bay. North winds cause a swell so you might want to anchor off in the bay. The second is Vourkari which is located on the NE arm of the bay. If you choose to tie here on the quay make sure you have a secure anchor as the meltemi blows straight up on the quay. This area is the most popular for yachts as there is water and provisioning available. The third choice is the old coal bunkering depot in the N arm of the bay this offers good shelter from North winds.
Ormos Pisa - Located on the west coast. This is a fairly protected cove a nice place for a swim. There are no facilities available. Ormos Kavia – This bay offers good shelter from the meltemi. The bay has houses a few hotels. If you need anything Manos' tavern can provide you with provisions, gas, fuel , ice and showers.
Ormos Polias – This bay is located SE of Kea. You should anchor to the E of the islet. There are a few ancient ruins and the remains of a temple ashore which make for a nice afternoon walk.
