We are a mother and adult daughter who were looking for a peaceful location to end our longer stay in Greece. Our trip to Kea was amazing and more wonderful than we imagined. We arrived and left on an enjoyable ferry ride with a beautiful view. Mary and George went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and at home, giving us plenty of information, even before we arrived, about what we could do on the island and how to get around. They took great care of us. We made good friends! Each day, we woke up to an incredible view of the hills and the ocean and George's beautiful landscaping. We spent most of our time at the private cove beach and had a lovely time in town as well, with an incredible restaurant that Mary and George love (the calamari, lemon dessert, and Syrrah were especially good). The iced cappuccino I had at a coffee shop in Kea's capital was the best I have ever had. There is more to see and do than we did (e.g., other beaches, ruins, and hikes for those who would like to do that). The cabs arrive quickly when you need one to get around. The apartment is bright, lovely, comfortable, and completely equipped. With Mary's wonderful paintings and George's incredible photographs surrounding us, we were in an artist's paradise. My daughter and I were able to get groceries and enjoy cooking many meals and spending quality time together. I would love to return. This is a very special home and extremely special and caring hosts. Thank you so much, Mary and George, for all your hospitality and sharing your wonderful place!
