Villa Hestia is the most beautiful spot I’ve ever experienced - the nature, the silence, the sunsets, the stars in the sky, the pool, the garden (so many cool spots to discover), the sea view !!
The Guest house is enough for two people: you have a clean bathroom / shower and a bed with a kitchen (Remember it’s around 20 m2). Actually you only stay outside the whole day! The whole guest house was absolutely clean!!!
There was a bottle of water & vine on our first day and some bath articles to use - that was perfect bc we’ve checked in late. There were also a medical kit/first aid kit with everything you need!
The garden and pool are very spacious and perfect to relax. We were able to use everything :)
There was a gardener, who came 3 times a week to clean the pool and water the plants - also a very nice guy.
KEA is a beautiful Island and we were absolut happy for all the tips that George has offered to us.
Although the island is a small island, you are able to visit and discover a lot of beautiful places.
The beaches were empty (we were in September - not the main season) and very clean.
The food on Kea is sooooo tasty!!! My favourite spots:
Kea - Aristos & Rolandos Restaurant
Ioulyda - O Paparounas
Kea is a very traditional island - no real tourism!! It’s not like Mykonos, Santorini, etc.
The guest house is around 15 min away from the port - it’s perfect.
You reach the port with a ferry (60€ - 2 person & 1 car) from port lavrio (45 minutes from Athen Airport).
YOU ABSOLUTLY NEED A 4x4 CAR!! You aren’t able to reach the guesthouse without a car !! We had a small car bc we couldn’t imagine how dirty the roads are (small island tough). We were really careful with our car but you really need a 4x4 car to discover every beautiful road on Kea. Only to main roads are tarred roads. We have booked our car with Sixt and we really can recommend it. (No more costs & insurance problems - for 10 days (no 4x4 car) in total 200€ with partial cover (100€ p.P).
All in All it really was a beautiful stay and I really would like to come back. If you are looking for a relaxing (real relaxing) and independent and free holidays - Villa Hestia is a beautiful spot!!
PS: George was a very kind, helpful and careful host !!! Sad that we weren’t able to meet you @george ☺️
