A real Gem in the AirBnB world of Tzia/Kea - pictures do not do this oasis justice! We arrived late evening with Stathi's waiting for us as we entered Otzias beach from the port (you can't miss the rendezvous, a 10 minute drive) and made our way to the house. The next day we were treated to the start of the Meltemi breezes through the olive orchard and grape vines near the spacious porch and terrace, and the sounds of the chickens in the coop appreciating the morning. Stathi's house is connected to the property, but they are hosts with the ultimate touch - there, but not letting you know you have a neighbor. The silence of the night and beauty of the stars make this a place to cherish on its own right. The house is comfortable, with sleeping accommodation perfect for a family of 3. Beds are really comfortable, and with the amazing silence slept a perfect four days. Beaches in the south are a 40 minute drive, but its not taxing to go and come - and the reward of being in such a country setting made it fun to come back in the evening. Ioulida, the "Chora" or capital city, is a 20 minute drive.
We look back to visiting again with them in the future. Thank you Stathi!
