Kea(Tzia) Island Cyclades I walked in legendary stone-paved paths that led to fabulous sources. I stood in ancient Karthea and my eyes were lost in the blue of the sea and the sky. I found myself in a traditional fest, was offered red wine, danced "balo" and the melody from the bagpipes flooded my heart. I discovered splendid beaches with golden sand and cool blue waters. A lion made of stone showed me the place where the fairies swim. The nymphs invited me to the Festival of Fairy Tales where every summer story tellers from around the world give away the secret for staying a child forever. The first settlers of the Neolithic age selected rocky elevations near the coast in order to be able to oversee the sea and the land. The discoveries that were made in the first settlement, located at the cape Kefalas, show the cultural interactions of Kea with continental Greece, and they bring the Cycladic culture to light. The settlement was founded during the final Neolithic period (3.300 BC), in the homonymous cape, at the north-western coast of the island. At the foot of the same hill the cemetery of the settlement was established. This location remained inhabited for roughly one century. he inhabitants of Kefalas, who were farmers and fishermen, began to develop metallurgy. The copper age was in the threshold of history. Our knowledge on Kea during the copper age is based mainly on the excavations that took place at the cape of Aghia Irini, located near Kefalas. From the copper age until the end of the Mycenaean years, the settlement of Aghia Irini, left its mark in the history and the precocious culture of the Aegean Sea. During the 16th century, when the settlement became a node of communication between the Minoan and the newly-born Mycenaean world, Aghia Irini turned into a Cretan-Mycenaean centre. The location of the island, in combination with the safety of its harbour, contributed in the cheap and social blossoming. From the discoveries that were made, water supply construction and other great works of Mycenaean type as well as elaborate decorations in the works of art can be seen. The city was destroyed by a powerful earthquake around 1450 BC. |
