Looking for something a little different and off-the-beaten-track for your next escape to the sunshine? Then the gorgeous Greek Island of Kea might just be the place for you.

Offering beautiful beaches by the doze, quaint and quintessentially Greek towns and villages bursting with idyllic charm, as well as some stunning, unspoiled countryside, this often-overlooked gem is a great choice for family holidays, friends' getaways, and romantic retreats. This striking holiday villa set on a large plot of land enjoys a fantastic location just two minutes' drive away from the bustling Vourkari Marina – one of the most salubrious spots on the island that houses a variety of restaurants serving fresh seafood, lively cafes and bars as well as a handful of shops.

The home itself is bright and inviting, offering loads of cosy seating areas in which you can park yourself with a good book and an even better wine for an hour or two, simply soaking up the feeling of tranquillity and holiday bliss as the waves lap against the shores below. Of course, then there is also that fabulous outdoor area, where you will find the swimming pool with a fantastic view of the enchanting waters of the Aegean. We especially love the furnished balcony overlooking the water and can just imagine sitting there as the sun goes down, sipping a cool glass of a classic summertime cocktail. ‘Yamas’ to that.
