The Blue and White House in Ioulida, Kea

Kea, also known as Tzia, is one of the closest islands to Athens. There are 4 to 5 ferry boats going to and from the island in the summer months. Kea has been called the Hidden Gem of the Cycladic islands, due its beautiful landscape, gorgeous sandy beaches and unique architecture.

The house is set in the upper part of Ioulida, the main town/village of the island, just a 10 minute walk from the famous Leon statue, a giant stone carving of a lion made about 500 BC. To get to the house, you go to the top part of Ioulida, where there is a parking area (parking not always available) and walk down to house, about 6 minutes. As cars are not allowed in Ioulida, there is a donkey, called Leon, who will carry your luggage for you until the steps/stairs near the house.

For those that want to experience the real island feel, this house is ideal!!
