Stripped-back and simple, this Cycladic-style apartment is an excellent base from which to explore Kea. The home itself is located in a pedestrianised area of Ioulida – it’s a nice and quiet spot but parking can be tricky. Enjoy meals in the sunshine, thanks to the balcony and barbecue, or eat out at the restaurant just 10 metres down the road. When it comes to day trips, the beaches along the east coast are easy to reach by car.
