Ayia Irini is a Bronze Age settlement on a small peninsula in the bay of Agios Nikolaos on the island of Kea, in the Cyclades, Greece. Occupied from about the 4th millennium BCE, it was a fortified town with strong Minoan and later Mycenaean links. Its temple held terracotta statues of women and was used for religious worship into Greek historical times.
