Such a lovely place. Amazing views of the sunset, the harbour, the old lighthouse - you can spend hours just watching the boats go by! House is well equipped - plenty of pans, plates etc, lots of towels, sheets, blankets provided. Mattress was one of the most comfortable we've encountered on holiday. Overall, as other people have said, the house is prettier and cosier even than it looks in the photos. There is a patio with a good BBQ to the side of the house, shaded by a gorgeous pink bourganvillia. The street is a cul de sac so is quiet. You can walk to a number of bars and restaurants (we recommend Breeze bar for cocktails). In the port we recommend Rolando's for lunch (have the goat!). For snorkelling Ioannis' recommendation of Xilo was particularly wonderful. The ancient site of Karthea with the temple ruins and theatre excavations is a must do trip. Recommend hiring a 4x4 (we hired a panda 4x4 which was great) to explore the island and get to the more out of the way beaches. However Gialiskari beach is walking distance from the house and we enjoyed swimming and snorkelling there too. Ioannis was very helpful - picking us up from the ferry to take us to the supermarket and our car hire place, setting us up with water, fruit, coffee etc when we arrived, and giving us lots of recommendations. Very quick to respond to questions. In fact everyone we met on Kea was helpful and friendly. The car hire manager even took us back to the port with our luggage. We stayed at the end of September which is the end of the season so was quiet but there were still plenty of bars and restaurants open and the weather was generally good.
