The Lion of Kea is a standout ancient marble sculpture on the island’s archaeological grounds—ideal for close textures, low-angle silhouettes, and storytelling details against Cycladic stone. Visit in spring/early autumn for clear skies and softer light; mid-day can be harsh. Access is easiest by car from Ioulida—expect limited on-site parking and short walks on uneven ground.
