On the beautiful island of Kea lies this charming, traditional-style villa built with locally sourced stone that boasts an irresistible infinity pool. Overlooking the infinite blues of the glittering Aegean, this home enjoys a fantastic waterfront location, with steps leading directly down to the lovely beach. Set on a huge plot, the home feels private and tranquil, providing the perfect place for a relaxing retreat into the unspoiled nature of this often-overlooked Greek Island gem. Here, you'll find yourself within easy reach of the town of Melissaki which, although somewhat sleepy, houses all the amenities you could need, whilst also being home to some truly wonderful local eateries, quaint and quintessentially Greek streets and laneways, as well as some spectacular beaches. We love the sociable spaces of this home and think that the rustic stone detailing really brings the interior spaces to life. We also love the way it brings the outside in, inviting in plenty of glorious Greek sunshine and expansive sea views. Enjoy cooking up a feast of typically mezze dishes in the well-equipped country-style kitchen, before savouring the fruits of your labour either on the large dining table or (as would be our preference) out on the... terrace, gazing out over both the swimming pool and the stunning sea beyond. There's even a little cocktail bar that seems to beckon as soon as the sun begins to dip lower and the sky fills with golden evening light.

About Kea
Considered by some as the gateway to the Cyclades, Kea is the closest inhabited island of this idyllic archipelago to Athens. Yet, it remains largely undiscovered. Those who stop by are treated to quiet sandy beaches on the crystal Aegean, a dramatically hilly landscape hiding quaint towns, and ancient archaeology. While some of the beaches have a scattering of loungers and umbrellas, the island is largely untouched by tourism so...
