Communication with Ioannis was excellent. He always responded to our enquiries promptly.

His mother kindly picked us up from the ferry on arrival and drove us to the house.

The house is charming and quiet; it was clean and comfortable and as represented in the photos. The kitchen was stocked with coffee, water, condiments and spices. We particularly enjoyed the view from the terrace.

The local beach is just a few minutes away on foot.
There is a mini-market 5 mins walk away (in the village of Vourkari) where you can buy fresh bread in the morning, as well as other essentials.

We loved our evenings in Ioulis, the quiet capital. Though not essential, it is worth hiring a car for a couple of days to see the island. The beaches are amazing and for lovers of ancient history a visit to the Greek temple at Karthea is a must: http://www.greektravel.com/greekislands/kea/karthea/index.htm
Please note that walking shoes and suitable clothing for this trail are essential is the path is uneven and fairly wild.
The Monastery of Panagia Kastrian is also definitely worth a visit.

Ioannis is an excellent host, who goes out of his way to make you feel welcome.

Efharisto para poli, Ioannis.
