Eleven water mills are built along the stream. Routes for all In the central and eastern areas of Kea (included in Í atura 2000) lies the largest oak forest of the <strong>Cyclades</strong>, while rare plants and species endemic to the <strong>Cyclades</strong>, shrubs and hundreds of colourful wild flowers cover the slopes of hills, the banks of waterways, gorges, even the rocks.
