Speaking for the entire group that stayed at Villa Athina, I can only use superlatives about both the hosts and the facilities. We wanted to relax at an authentic Greek island not too far from the mainland. This place was simply spot on. Athina, Yannis, Nick and Nathalia were extremely helpful and no effort was spared to make it a comfortable stay for us. I can honestly say that everything combined (facilities, hosts, scenery, atmosphere) this is one of the best places (if not the best) to book for a few days I have yet encountered. It is not so easy to find a place that fits a group of ten people and pleases all of them. This one did. The villa is well equipped and the large swimming pool, the barbecue and the roomy places to sit outside (sun or shade, you find it all within hand's reach) make it an ideal location to have a great time and enjoy yourself. The wonderful scenery is an extra asset, with views of both the hills on the island and the sea.

Only thing that one has to keep in mind is the fact that you do need a car to get around. The villa is located on top of a hill at a few kilometers from the harbour, which adds to the privacy and scenery of the location, but which makes a car necessary for getting food (local butcher is highly recomendable!) or for those who want to head out for a day and explore Kea. Yannis arranged transport for us during our entire stay, so we never had any problem with that. It made our stay complete.

Concerning the description on air-bnb, it was all correct and our host was very helpful with information about the booking and about the area. Super-service.

The neighbourhood of the accomodation is exactly what we had hoped for: a non-touristy island that nevertheless offers some nice scenery and places to visit. One can go for a swim at the beach, visit some small towns or churches or go and have a drink in the harbour. Perfect for those who only have a few days left to escape Athens and enjoy a rural island-experience.

In short, we would highly recommend this place. If anything to say about our stay that I would change, it would be that our stay was too short :)
To Athina, Yannis, Nick and Nathalia, thanks for the warm welcome and the wonderful visit.
