Well, what to say.. Kea is a beautiful island, very authentic, wild and where mainly tourists are Greek. So I truelly recommend it who seeks for a quiet and not too turistic destination.
The house of Maria is in a perfect position: it is like 8 minutes from Korissa that is this tiny and characteristic port of Kea, so you will find anything there in case of any emergency (supermarket that closed at 23 pm, bakery, pharmacy and, naturally, cafe’ and restaurants.
The house is situated in Melissaki village that has few neighbouring houses and the atmosphere is very silent and peaceful, exposed westwards, so amazing sunsets are assured. The house is equipped with everything you might need. As everyday we went to visit different beaches, in one week stay we went out just a couple times out for dinner. We just felt so good being at home!.. I would consider to rent a jeep or something like that as most of the most beautiful beaches you can reach on the roads that are not asphaltated.
Maria was a great host helping with any question I had, meanwhile Mona, the housekeeper, was always available: in the morning, late in the evening, as we were 2 families with children,8 persons, so at least at the begining we needed assistance and she was always there to help.
I truelly hope to come back again and I would definetely be happy to come back to Maria’s place!..
