Stunning Kea home with spectacular open views of the sunset and Vourkari bay.
A mere breath away from Athens lies the seductive island of Kea where this comfortable house is located. Set in an elevated position, overlooking the bay of Vourkari it enjoys sea views and directly faces the sunset. A comfortable island home with all the modern concessions. The house faces the sunset and on any given summer night the bay is filled with visiting sailing and motor boats, their small lights sparkling on the still bay of Vourkari making it one of the most picturesque of island sights.
Less well known among the Greek islands of the Aegean archipelago the island of Kea is a sleepy little gem of 3,000 inhabitants full of ancient ruins, chapels, coves, tavernas and quaint harbours. In Kea's crystal blue waters lies the wreck of the Britannic, sister ship of the Titanic. It's a preferred favourite destination for diving enthusiasts. Kea is also home to a variety of hiking trails, oak tree forests and secluded beaches. The capital, Ioulida is not on the coast - a precaution against marauding pirates in less lawful times. Situated in a natural amphitheatre in the mountains, Ioulida is a vertical town of stegadi buildings which seems to have grown organically into and out of each other. Narrow alleyways run though residents' homes as the contours take them. The house is laid out on 3 levels, with the ground level incorporating the sitting room and open plan kitchen, double doors leading to a balcony with a dining table and a sitting area and another set of double doors leading to the pool, dining table for 10, bbq and large cushioned sitting area. The upper level comprises of one double bedroom with an en suite bathroom and a large private balcony. The lower level houses the master bedroom with its own dressing room adjacent to the en suite bathroom and a further 2 bedrooms and a bathroom are also located downstairs. All 3 lower level bedrooms have French windows allowing access to the lower garden area where a trampoline is located near by.

This was our first family visit to the beautiful island of Kea. The house is set in a fantastic location and we spent many evenings watching amazing sunsets over the bay of Vourkari and the island of Makronisos from the pool and outside dining terrace.
The house is beautifully decorated and very well equipped and within walking distance of a number of good restaurants in the port of Vourkari.
Thank you to the owner Lara, who was very helpful and to the housekeeper Mona who looked after us perfectly. We hope to be back one day soon!

Peaceful location, great view, great for families
The house was perfect for our family! Mona, the housekeeper was kind and welcoming and made us feel right at home. Lara had everything in the house to accommodate children. Our young children enjoyed the bedrooms, small children's table, the pool, trampoline, play house, swing and hammock. The cool sea breezes were lovely from the living room balcony and sunsets were incredible. After driving to different parts of the island for a few days, it was nice to watch a movie in the evening. My 4 and 6 year olds especially enjoyed the children's movie selection.
Having a car was a must for us. The house is on a dirt road on the side of a mountain. (Thus the amazing views) My husband and I enjoyed how quiet our surroundings were.
Thanks for providing a restful place for our family to stay on the beautiful island of Kea!

Beautiful, amazing Kea holiday home
Our 2 families recently had a wonderful holiday at this home. Perfect for groups with a fantastic outdoor area (sunshine during the day with nice breeze in the afternoon). Fitted out with everything that you need for a fantastic holiday. If you have kids then this is the place to stay. Cubby (play) house, pool, games, toys etc. House is a stroll down a track to the lovely little village of Voukari with it's many nice restaurants. We loved our stay and if we come back to Kea this will be the house we would stay in. Thanks for having us!

Amazing views, perfect decor, comfort and beauty
I have stayed here twice, it was perfect on each occasion. I couldn't recommend staying here enough. Easy to reach from London. I arrived in time to watch the sun set, and I was hooked. The owner has style (she used to work for Vogue) and children, so everything you could want is catered for!

Why they chose this property
Ideally positioned above the beautiful bay of Vourkari, this house has all the comforts of a modern home but with the touch of real Cycladic feel to it. Build out of stone, it has all the features of an island home and privileged views across the archipelago, often the lights of the distant capital can be seen shimmering at night.
What makes this property unique
A ideally positioned and tastefully house on a largely unspoilt island. Ideal for families. Guests can also rent a boat or sailing boat and keep it in the small marina below the house.
