FESTIVE EVENTS FOR LAMBROS KATSONIS. During summer, festive events are organized in the memory of Lambros Katsonis, who had an important role in the history of Kea, during the Russian-Ottoman war. In Kea there is a strait called Strait of Lambros Katsonis and it is located before the lighthouse of Agios Nikolaos. His ship is considered to have passed from this strait to escape from the Turks who had ruled the port.
