Even in the middle of winter, during holidays when many restaurants and businesses are closed, Kea is an incredible place to visit and Ioannis's house is the perfect place to stay! When we arrived, Ioannis met us at the port to show us the house, take us to the grocery store, and he even called around to find us a car to rent during our stay since the rental office was closed when we arrived. We did a lot of hiking on different parts of the island, and our favorite walk was one that Ioannis recommended. You can pretty much drive anywhere on Kea, pull over and find trails and roads to hike on with amazing views and beautiful landscape. The house itself is really cozy with a fire going in the fireplace, I can only imagine how sweet it would be to hang out on the patio in warmer weather. The kitchen is well-stocked for cooking your own meals, and everything about the house was easy and comfortable. The view over the ocean is phenomenal. We'd love to return some time to enjoy the beaches and see the island in another season.
