A protected archaeological island at the heart of the Early Cycladic world.
Keros is an uninhabited archaeological site known for ritual deposits and the settlement of Dhaskalio, not a conventional beach destination.
Keros holds exceptional evidence of Early Cycladic ritual activity. Thousands of deliberately broken marble figurines and vessels were brought to the site around 4,500 years ago, while the nearby islet of Dhaskalio supported a sophisticated settlement linked by maritime networks.
The island's importance lies in research and conservation. It has no village, accommodation or public sightseeing infrastructure, and casual landing can damage sensitive remains. Travellers can understand Keros through museums and the wider Small Cyclades landscape.
Practical information
Keros is protected and has no scheduled ferry. Do not arrange an unauthorised landing; seek current guidance from archaeological authorities and view the island from licensed local boats.
