The place is of a magnificient traditional simple country style without missing comfort. Ideal for couples and families with kids older than six years. Beautiful view over the agrarian/natural hills to the Aegean Sea, listening only to the sounds of nature.
As it is about 500 m above seal level, when it's windy, you may need a pullover to sit on the terraces in the evening (end of august/beginning of september) or you just go inside the living room and play games with your kids, while the music plays in the background and the parents enjoy a wine. (There are common games, a stereo to connect your mobile phone plus even a guitar.) There is reasonable LTE coverage (Cosmote) to plan your trips and visits for the next day with G... Maps.
The solid stone walls and roofs, beside its beautiful aspect, lock out the heat from outside an let you sleep comfortable. The kitchen and the bathroom are very clean and well equipped. All other rooms are very clean, too, and have tasteful furnitures.
It's a five minute walk on a charming path to the car (that you need indispensibly), half of it a steep ascent - so be sure you can carry your luggage.
About Kea: there are only a few roads, so getting lost is almost impossible and you find the few supermarkets and restaurants easily. The hiking path network is perfect - if you love hiking! Ancient pathes up an down through a marvellous scenery to abandoned bays an beaches where snorkeling in crystal clear water is almost like between corals. And almost all beaches have a sandy section, too. Our favourites: Megales Poles next to the ruins of ancient Karthea (remains of two temples dedicated to Athena and Apollo) -> best for snorkeling and to fly our stunt kite & Koundouros, the "St. Tropez" of Kea (calculate with 150 € per day for four persons, including the meals) -> best for relaxed swimming (especially with little kids) and also ideal for snorkeling.
And now about the hostess Krysta: she gives you thorough answers to any question even before you have pressed the "send" button;-) What I mean to say: she makes you feel extremely welcome!
On the whole, we have spent a perfect holiday in Krysta's house on Kea!
