Castaway to the Cyclades Islands at this newly renovated, stone-clad apartment set on the sleepy island of Kea and just a short ferry ride from Athens. Gloriously untouched by tourism, the pace of life is slow here. Laze away the day watching the boats bob into the postcard-pretty bay of Vourkari from your private shady balcony – especially magical at sunset. Flip-flop down to the local village tavernas and meet the locals. Or head out to discover the fine sandy shores and oak forests that make this island so enchanting. What's more, with so much reachable on foot, there's no need for a car here.

Home truths:
*There is parking for up to three cars outside the apartment
*Pets are welcomed at this home upon request
*This home is one of two apartments in the building, but each one is completely independent of the other, and you’ll have your own private entrance
*Kea is one of the closest islands to Athens, and there are up to five ferry boats going to and from the island every day in the summer months
