Anais and Panos are lovely hosts and lovely people. We spent 5 incredible nights at Als Marmarei in Kea. The house is a piece of paradise with a postcard view over the Cycladic Islands of Andros, Gyaros, Tinos, Mykonos, Paros and Kythnos. Anais has put some very thoughtful touches in the house and the view is breathtaking. The pool is crisp and there are olive and fig trees on site, as well as Zoe the cat. Some tips:
From the Airbnb it’s about a 15 minute drive to Ilouda and about 7 minutes down to the gorgeous, isolated Sykamia beach. The road to the Air BnB (and several of the beach roads) is unsealed and rugged and has not been graded. It was a struggle in a 2WD car, so we recommend that you consider a 4WD or taxi. Also, like everywhere in Greece, there are mosquitoes during the summer nights, so come prepared. We would love to stay again. Anais has lots of fantastic tips - we recommend walking route 6 to ancient Karthea.
